(After I verify any legality issues ($) therein of course) I will be installing DuckDuckGo‘s browser on production machines at the office and clients as well. That doesn’t mean that it is without varied features tried-and-true and some I wished I’d had long ago. The browser has an almost minimalist look and feel. I’ve used this browser quite a bit now and after previous frustrating attempts to enhance my privacy by using other, more popular browsers’ cumbersome privacy settings, can readily say that DuckDuckGo’s offering is the most intuitive, well laid out, and quick browser I’ve used in the over 25 years I’ve been an IT professional. I don’t think that’s a far-fetched assumption to make. Yes, I assume that everyone needs (and wants) to protect their privacy when on the web. I clearly and vehemently can make a case for every internet traveler to want -nay NEED to use this browser. I rarely endorse apps and even more rare is an endorsement I make for a tech/IT/web product. “Far too few” really means “not enough” to be sure.
