The New Best Browser – DuckDuckGo Private Browser Review

Hot diggity! This is something very special from the whiz kids at DuckDuckGo. Many interested in basic privacy have used their search engine for years, watched it grow and become a worthy rival in completeness to anything offered by the evil “don’t be evil” corporations. But after a long hiatus in which it was not very usable, DuckDuckGo have created a wonderful new browser for web privacy. The GUI is adorable, one of the most concise, clear, and complete I’ve ever seen. The ease and transparency of the interface is bested only by the apparent competence of its blocking practices. And yet, unlike some tracking blockers, I find it renders pages quite well and without odd gaps. With a single tap on a site rating icon, DuckDuckGo tells you at a glance what is wrong with the site. Go to FB, Google, or Twitter when you boot this up to see exactly what evil they are up to. It can’t be made clearer, both by the D rating, or these simple explanations what evil these sites are up to. If you’ve ever gone grumbly while wading through a site’s meally mouthed, weasly fine print on their user agreement or privacy page, you can’t but gasp with gratitude to see how DuckDuckGo cuts through the red tape and bull pucky to give you the real scoop. DuckDuckGo May very well be a gate crasher with this one. Not all of us have been gleefully sold on the surveillance economy and the brave new world of fawning subservience to Big Data. DuckDuckGo is proving it can be done right. Good going, ducks! Keep it up, please!
