Ex-DDG Browser user here. Personally, it’s not very good. I really only used it whenever a site, usually the pesky ones by the government, broke in Librewolf (my main browser).

It’s better than Chrome, of course. Out of the box, DDG blocks trackers and ads to a certain extent as it has an extension of the same name embedded into the browser. However, it has no extension support (cannot install extensions fr the Chrome Web Store), making it subpar when it comes to content blocking (no uBlock origin) and customization (no DarkReader), among others.

Really, you’re better off using Firefox with uBlock origin set at medium mode.

I feel that the only use case for DDG browser is for non-technical people like me to have a more private browsing experience without much tinkering. Yet, it takes very little reading and experimentation to understand how uBlock origin’s medium mode works and how it is waaaaay better at ad blocking and in preventing/minimizing cross-site tracking.

Did you mean Mullvad Browser? Mull is discontinued by the sole developer, and it wasn’t run by a company.

great update! however, the emoji suggestions don’t work properly on my end. either no emoji suggestions are given or if there are suggestions, they’re kinda limited

i hope this function in florisboard will be as polished as signal’s in the future

Good to know, thanks! I’ll stick with dbzer0’s megathread from now on.

Is the lemmy.dbzer0 megathread really better maintained? It was last updated on March 3, 2024, unlike the original piracy megathread that was updated last August 29.
