What is the advantage of this over Firefox Focus? And is the Privacy Essentials extension available for Firefox for Android? Trying to understand why I should use the DDG app over either of those two, since the DDG app seems like it is just a browser without tab functionality.
Also, not really related, but does anybody know how to make the home screen search bar on Nexus/Pixel phones use DDG instead of Google?
- yegg 9y agoTab functionality should be coming shortly, along with other standard browser functionality -- feel free to influence the roadmap with more suggestions :). It is not available yet for Firefox for Android, though we would like to make it so shortly. Our app additionally includes a few things: --Upgraded encryption, in that if we can determine a site works on an encrypted version, we will also send you there automatically. --Privacy grading, in that we show you at a glance how protected you are, which you can tap to dig into the details. We have more to do, though we've spent a long time trying to make this UX intuitive and informative, including an A-F grading scheme, grouping trackers by networks, and showing you over time who we caught trying to track you. --Special attention given to blocking while at the same time not breaking the Web.
