DuckDuckGo Browser allows private browsing by default

SMRTR summary

DuckDuckGo Browser for Windows has entered public beta, offering comprehensive privacy protections enabled by default. The browser blocks third-party trackers before they load, uses 60% less data than Chrome, and includes unique features like Duck Player for ad-free YouTube viewing and automatic cookie pop-up management. Unlike incognito modes, DuckDuckGo maintains consistent privacy protections across all browsing sessions while supporting standard features like password management and bookmark importing, positioning itself as a viable daily-use alternative to mainstream browsers.
