I am still interested in people's usage experience with this browser. Been five months now since the topic stayed quiet on the forum. Though still not have tried this browser for Windows, I did find these two articles on it:

I have still NOT tried the DuckDuckGo Browser, and I do NOT think I will either.

However, please read an article on DuckDuckGo announces Internet Search Modifications to search engine results.

Good luck!

I started using the DDG browser version 0.74.2 on Windows 11 Enterprise today. It installed without needing administrator access (which I don't have on my work laptop). It is simple and barebones, but fast and works on all web sites I have visited so far. It asked if I wanted to import my bookmarks, which I did, and had no problems. I will not be using it as my main browser, just looking for now. It works fine with Chrome and Edge installed or even running at the same time.

I finally did try duckduckgo browser for Windows earlier this year. I did not feel impressed. Also, I needed advice and how to find where it was installed. I uninstalled the browser within two days and plan to not again install this one.
