DuckDuckGo’s browser adds encrypted, privacy-minded syncing and backup

DuckDuckGo’s browser now features a private, end-to-end encrypted syncing service.
No account or sign-in is needed, and DuckDuckGo never sees what you’re syncing.
Bookmarks, passwords, “favorites” (new tab page shortcuts), and settings for its email protection service can be synced between browsers.
The encryption key for browser sync is stored only locally on your devices.
Mobile devices use a QR code to scan, while desktop browsers use a numeric code.
Syncing brings DuckDuckGo’s browser closer to mainstream parity, making it a viable option for regular use.
Most alternatives require signing in with a web-based account to keep things synced.
End-to-end encrypted sync aligns with DuckDuckGo’s ethos and removes a hassle for users.
Built-in tracker ad blocking, enforced encryption, cookie pop-up management, and email protection are also included in DuckDuckGo, along with easy history wipes and a different default search.
Extensions are planned for future release. However, there are no updates to extension availability at this time.
