DuckDuckGo is preparing a desktop version of its browser, which is expected to be released in 2022.
If you don’t want to use Google’s search services because you’re concerned about all the data Mountain View may collect about you, then you’re probably familiar with DuckDuckGo. For those who don’t, know that this is an alternative search engine that has been thought and designed to offer a much more personal experience. And soon it will appear on computers.
DuckDuckGo is preparing a desktop version of its browser
That being said, the fact that you need to use a different browser such as Google Chrome to use this search engine can rightfully be a concern for some users. But today there is good news in this regard. Indeed, from a post posted by DuckDuckGo, we learn that its teams are currently actively working on a desktop version of their browser. In other words, it will soon be possible to surf the web through the DuckDuckGo browser, for example from Windows.
Release planned for 2022
And interestingly, unlike other browsers like Microsoft Edge that are built on Chromium, DuckDuckGo claims that their browser was built from the ground up. “Instead of starting with Chromium or something else, we built our desktop application around the visualization tools offered in the OS (e.g. on mobile devices), which allowed us to get rid of a lot of unnecessary elements and other messy features that accumulate. browsers over the years.”
The DuckDuckGo message does not mention a date when the first version of this desktop browser will be available, but those who are worried that their personal data will fall into the hands of Google or Microsoft due to the fact that they use one of their browsers are likely to look forward to this launch.
