It's no secret that using the Internet generally means handing over most of your personal information – knowingly or not. DuckDuckGo presents itself as an alternative to this, protecting the privacy of its users, and now offers users an easier way to access their information from multiple locations. The browser announced a new sync and backup feature which shares bookmarks, email protection settings, and passwords between devices.
Basically, DuckDuckGo Users who choose it for its lack of data sharing can still enjoy the benefits of using the same browser on multiple devices without worrying about who has access to their searches. The entire process is end-to-end encrypted, with DuckDuckGo never receiving any information as the decryption key is stored on the individual's devices.
The update means individuals can share information, for example, from their DuckDuckGo browser on their PC or Mac on their Android or iPhone and vice versa. Mobile phones and tablets can be linked to a QR code, while computers require users to enter a code. There is no need to log in, but users will want to download a recovery PDF. It allows users to access synced data in the event of a device failure, including Email Protection, which removes hidden trackers and creates unique, private email addresses.
