You'll never guess the one trick I used to find that. They don't want you to know.
- falcor84 2y agoNote that this page triggers a download - which is quite rude on their behalf - apparently there's no page on their site where you can read about the browser before deciding whether you may want to download it.
- tobie18 2y agoHi there, DDG employee here -- here are a few options where you can learn about the Mac browser before downloading: https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/get-duckduckgo/get-duckduckgo-browser-on-mac/ https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/get-duckduckgo/... https://spreadprivacy.com/duckduckgo-for-mac-open-beta/ https://spreadprivacy.com/duckduckgo-for-mac-open-beta/ https://duckduckgo.com/app https://duckduckgo.com/app (this one detects your device so only works if you're on a Mac)
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoIf you write an app that references that link, Apple will not approve it for the App Store (less of a requirement for Mac, than iOS). I ran into this with Zoom. If you follow a Zoom conference link, it automatically starts downloading the Zoom client. I wrote an app that helps folks find Zoom meetings. I was forced to add code that intercepts callouts to Safari, that access Zoom conferences, and show an alert, instead, asking the user to download the app.

- 486sx33 2y agouBlock stopped the auto download for me I think
- _ph_ 2y agoI use uBlock and got the download.
- hombre_fatal 2y agoYour browser auto-downloaded it. The website just said it's available.
- _ph_ 2y agoNo, that doesn't normally happen. The link doesn't point to an executable. So the linked webpage caused the browser to download. At least there should be a warning.
