It has our private search engine built in, along with enhanced tracker blocking and encryption. For details on our tracking protection, see help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-hel…

@tjstebbing Not at the moment, we're focused on Windows and Mac for now. We'd love to do Linux eventually!

@DuckDuckGo "It’s not a “fork” of any other browser code[...]"
Woah! my first assumption with "new" browsers is that it's just gonna be more chromium junk - this is really cool!
Are you going to have your own extensions store then?
Definitely gonna give using this a try!

@SmoothSubscribe Thanks! 🦆 We're working toward extension support that meets our high privacy standards. In the meantime, we built in features for ad blocking and password management.

@DuckDuckGo Great to hear it was built from scratch and is not just a fork. Looking forward to try it out, features sound great.
Are you planning on going open source after full release?

@NoctreSharp Thanks for the kind words! Yes, we believe in open sourcing our apps and extensions whenever possible; we ultimately plan to do so for DuckDuckGo for Windows, too.

@DuckDuckGo +1 for adding pinned tabs feature. And please let me be able to right click and close a pinned tab. (Vivaldi has this off by default)

@DuckDuckGo Will you be blocking search results like you’ve done in the past?

@Milvio47303244 We do not censor. See help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-hel… "we don’t evaluate or otherwise take into account any potential political bias or leanings of websites in our search result rankings."

@DuckDuckGo Perhaps you need to include in your installer a check for other DDG stuff installed anywhere on the system, clean it all out, and THEN install something new.
I have DDG browser extension, just got an "New App for Windows" prompt and a failed install that only opens and freezes.

@lefunny87104 We're independent and always have been. We've put a lot of work into mitigating any privacy issues with WebView2. For example, we updated our version to ensure WebView2 crash reports are not sent to Microsoft.

@DuckDuckGo Congrats on the launch! Any possibility to add it to the Microsoft App Store? It would facilitate the install and update on my work machine.

@herobrine_true DuckDuckGo for Windows is equipped with our privacy-protecting alternative to ad blockers: the browser blocks invasive trackers before they load, effectively eliminating ads that rely on that creepy tracking.
