Mac users can now try the privacy features in the DuckDuckGo browser as the app has entered the beta stage of development.
As expected, the default search engine is the privacy-centric DuckDuckGo that generates objective results without any bias or "User preference" factors.
DuckDuckGo for Mac is advertised as an alternative to "Incognito" modes in other browsers that don't protect against web tracking, which uses roughly 60% less data than Chrome because of blocking all trackers before they are loaded.
While DuckDuckGo for Mac is at the beginning, version 0.30 and far from being stable, it comes with several new features since it first rolled out as a public waitlist beta in April.
DuckDuckGo for Mac is also compatible with the 1Password universal autofill feature and the browser's native password management solution.
The stable version of the DuckDuckGo browser may still be a long road ahead and the developer hasn't given an estimate for the release, neither for Mac nor for Windows.
