![]() ![]() * New feature: automatic cookie consent pop-up manager, which not only hides these but also makes sure to select the most private options before doing so (if you don't do that you can be subject to more tracking). * New feature: Duck Player, a YouTube player that helps protect your privacy (no targeted ads, no influencing your recommendations, etc.) community feedback, and we believe this approach is ultimately better and leads us to study and block new tracking techniques faster. More generally our web tracking protections are based on our open source crawler vs. ![]() This includes a bunch of protections not offered by most other browsers and extensions by default (e.g., embedded facebook content protection), or more robust versions of them (e.g., our HTTPS everywhere list is orders of magnitude bigger). Here's a tl dr for you on "why do I need a new browser" from the post: Otherwise Firefox and Brave are excellent and cross-platform. If you want a WebKit browser, Safari with the AdGuard extension blocks ads and trackers, has extensions including more password manager options, and has its own email relay feature. In my opinion there isn't much reason to use DDG Browser unless you really like the fire button. Plus it uses WebKit so theoretically it should be fast and battery efficient like Safari. It's a really nice compromise between "save everything until you delete everything" and "incognito mode" that I wish other browsers would adopt. That said, it has a cleaner interface than Brave, and it has that fire button from DDG Mobile that deletes everything except for cookies on sites you "fireproof". On YouTube, it can't block the ads unless you open in the "Duck Player" (a page where it embeds the video). My local newspaper's site has grey boxes where the ads would be without content or DNS blocking. It's just blocking common tracking domains and elements, so you don't get (much) cosmetic filtering and some ads will still show up. DDG isn't doing uBO level ad blocking like Brave does. ![]()
