I didn't even realize DDG had a browser. I've been using Brave for a few years now which has also offered a built-in VPN (which I don't use). If anyone has chose DDG over Brave, what were the deciding factors?

- mock-possum 2y agoReally can’t recommend the DDG browser on iOS for what it’s worth - it’s buggy, and has an incredibly frustrating habit of glitching it when you swipe to navigate back from a page.
- tredre3 2y agoCan't comment on Windows or iOS, but the Android browser is neat! Good: - I like that you can pin websites for easy access, the grid is visible when the address bar is focused or when you open a new tab. Similar to Firefox but more intuitive! - It blocks a fair amount of ads (incidental blocking, because they block trackers) - The history is cleared after a period of inactivity or when you dismiss/quit the app, and you can "fireproof" specific websites that you want to preserve - The accessibility features like text size and page zoom actually work, unlike Chrome or Brave where it's been broken forever (at least for me) Less good: - The search settings are often "forgotten". It doesn't seem to be related to the history clearing but things like "disable ads" or "safe search off" are often reset... - I believe all the icons on the favorites grid that I like so much are fetched via a duckduckgo service, ie DDG sees the domains you've favorited... - Some network errors result in a black page, especially anything SSL-related. Very frustrating when it happens in a captive portal...
