The DuckDuckGo browser has unveiled a new end-to-end encrypted Sync & Backup feature that lets users privately and securely synchronize their bookmarks, passwords, and Email Protection settings across multiple devices.
The new feature is available on the latest version of the DuckDuckGo browser for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, so syncing can only work between devices running these operating systems.
DuckDuckGo browser is a privacy-centric web browser with multiple privacy protection and tracker blocking mechanisms that ensure protection against user profiling and de-anonymization.
"Our built-in password manager stores and encrypts your passwords locally on your device. Our private sync is end-to-end encrypted," explains DuckDuckGo.
To sync your data between different devices running the DuckDuckGo browser, head to the browser's Settings and choose 'Sync & Backup' 'Sync With Another Device.
The browser also generates a PDF document containing recovery codes necessary to retrieve data if the host device gets damaged or stolen, or when adding new devices.
