Just switched from Google Chrome to DuckDuckGo, here's my honest review even though nobody cares.
DDG does exactly what it's advertised to do. It lets you remove all your cookies from websites with just a button (or automatically), and allows you to "fireproof" specific websites so it doesn't log you out of everything.
Problem is, it also deletes all of your tabs, so whatever you were looking at on a specific website is gone if you don't remember how to get back to it.For example, if you were looking at a really interesting Wikipedia article but can't remember the title, it's gone forever. Bookmarks help, but they're a bit annoying to work with. I wish "fireproofing" a site also stopped its tab from being deleted.
Overall score: 9/10. Does exactly what's advertised, but deletes tabs which I personally find annoying.

TheComputerCrasher 5 months ago (edited)Yes, but DuckDuckGo also blocks other trackers on websites to prevent companies from stealing your information. That's the "as advertised" part that I didn't expand on in the original post. -
