DuckDuckGo’s vision of a more private internet now works on all the major computing platforms.
not interested - any browser based on chromium is going to force manifest V3 and stop supporting ad-blockers. firefox with ublock is the way to go, for me. I like their search engine tho.
Couldn't find the answer around the web, but here's their blog post about the browser!
It uses Microsofts WebView2, which is chromium. Also it neither block ads nor support any extension.
It looks like it’s fully in house. They say it’s not a fork of any browser and that everything was made by their team
