It’s fine. Websites break on it less often than I would have expected and the “nuke your cookies and history" button is a fun feature. I’ve mostly moved to Firefox, though, just to get away from Chromium (although I realize the irony in that; my fingerprint is almost assuredly far more unique than if I stuck to Chromium).

You can always spoof your browser agent. It breaks only a few websites.

I like the browser. It never seems to break anything. My father uses it also. However, I must use Firefox with its built in Enhanced Tracking Protection in strict mode specifically to prevent Chrome domination.

It’s an internet privacy company that offers a variety of products to help protect your privacy, most notably a browser extension and it’s own private search engine.

Based on the search results, it appears that the DuckDuckGo browser does not use Chromium. Instead, it uses Apple’s WebKit rendering system , which is the same rendering engine used by Apple’s Safari browser. DuckDuckGo has chosen to use WebKit instead of Chromium or Blink, the fork of WebKit used by Chromium-based browsers.
