DuckDuckGo\u2019s privacy-focused browsing app is available in beta on Mac<\/a>, but you\u2019ll have to join a private waitlist to gain access. Just like the mobile browsing app, DuckDuckGo on Mac uses the DuckDuckGo search engine by default, automatically blocks web trackers, and comes with the famous \u201cFire\u201d button that burns up your browsing history and tabs in a single click.<\/p>\n

The browsing app also comes with a new feature that\u2019s supposed to help block those pesky cookie consent pop-ups that appear when you first open a website. DuckDuckGo says it will clear them on 50 percent of sites, while automatically selecting the option that blocks or minimizes the cookies that track you. Allison Goodman, the senior communications manager at DuckDuckGo, told The Verge <\/em>that the company plans on increasing this coverage \u201csignificantly\u201d as the beta progresses.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also gain access to a privacy feed that appears on DuckDuckGo\u2019s homepage. It looks quite a bit like the Privacy Report on Safari\u2019s homepage, but instead of just showing how many trackers it blocked, it breaks down tracking by site and lets you clear data on each one. In addition, DuckDuckGo won\u2019t load the content on sites \u2014 like Facebook \u2014 that put trackers in embedded content. It will instead show a notification that warns you about the tracking and asks if you wish to proceed.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Some other perks include a built-in password manager (that DuckDuckGo says it\u2019s working on bringing to the mobile app), the ability to import passwords, history, and bookmarks from other browsers, as well as its Smarter Encryption<\/a> tool that directs you to sites that use encrypted HTTPS connections more often. DuckDuckGo also says it stores your bookmarks, history, and passwords locally, and the company can\u2019t access this information. <\/p>\n

As we noted in our first post<\/a> about DuckDuckGo\u2019s new browser, DuckDuckGo for Mac doesn\u2019t fork an existing browser like Chrome. It\u2019s built off of the rendering engine used by Safari, also known as WebKit<\/a>. Because of this, DuckDuckGo claims its browser is faster than Chrome \u201con some graphics performance\u201d measured using the MotionMark 1.2 benchmark, and it says it uses 60 percent less data than Chrome (which we all know is a RAM hog).<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond rendering, all the code is ours \u2014 written by DuckDuckGo engineers with privacy, security, and simplicity front of mind,\u201d Beah Burger-Lenehan, DuckDuckGo\u2019s senior director of product, says in the post. \u201cThis means we don\u2019t have the cruft and clutter that has accumulated in browsers over the years, both in code and design, giving you a modern look and feel and a faster speed.\u201d<\/p>\n

To join the waitlist for the browser, download (or update) the DuckDuckGo app on mobile. Then head to Settings and select the DuckDuckGo for Desktop option from the Privacy section. You\u2019ll have to wait to receive a notification from the app, which will contain an invite code and link you can use to download the browser on your Mac. DuckDuckGo says it\u2019s currently letting people into the beta in waves.<\/p>\n

As for Windows, DuckDuckGo says an app \u2014 built using the operating system\u2019s default Chromium-based Edge rendering<\/a> \u2014 is \u201ccoming soon.\u201d DuckDuckGo also hopes to bring its browser to Linux in the future but says it\u2019s focused primarily on Windows and Mac for now. <\/p>\n

The one thing I\u2019m really looking forward to with DuckDuckGo\u2019s new browser, though, is its cookie consent blocker (which it can hopefully bring to mobile at some point). I\u2019m curious to see how many notifications it can really<\/em> block, and if it has any impact on performance. There\u2019s also the question of how DuckDuckGo\u2019s browser compares to Brave, a Chromium fork that\u2019s already available on Mac, Windows, and Linux that offers some of the same ad- and tracker-blocking capabilities. <\/p>\n

Update April 12th 12:40PM ET: <\/strong><\/em>Updated to add that DuckDuckGo plans on expanding its cookie consent blocker beyond 50 percent.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
