DuckDuckGo today released its own privacy-focused browser for macOS to the general public. It is still a beta version. The DuckDuckGo browser blocks trackers and ads, automatically handles cookie banners that allow websites to request permission to place cookies, provides an email alias ending in @duck.com for blocking email trackers, and includes a built-in password manager.
The browser also features "Duck Player", to watch YouTube videos without targeted ads. DuckDuckGo offers its own password manager for password management, but there is also an integration with Bitwarden. In addition, DuckDuckGo for Mac is compatible with the autofill feature of password manager 1Password.
The DuckDuckGo browser is not a "fork" of Chromium or other browser code. The code is written by the DuckDuckGo engineers themselves. To render websites, the browser uses the rendering engine provided by the operating system. In the case of the macOS version, a public macOS API is used for this. When the Windows version will appear is unknown. The beta version of this is not yet public and in an early stage. For now, DuckDuckGo is not working on a Linux version.
