DuckDuckGo

Anyone installed the DuckDuckGo browser on their smartphone ? Gets a lot of good reviews for privacy protection over the Useless Chrome.

A friend swears by it, but he also believes that the earth is flat ......

Kaspersky VPN. Free version available with 200mb a day. Suits my needs.

Have it on my stoopid iPhone and MSI laptop separately.

I read it maybe at TOP there was a hack to make Duck Duck go to show what GOOGLE does without the the privacy issues. But my cough prohibits me from remembering.

Put DDG on my phone. A lot faster than StartPage which had started giving some weird answers.

I tried Duck squared Go and tried using it for Ops-N. It's slow but when I select the latest page it says "no app can open this".

I don't use it anymore. I'll stick to my usual browsers. I'll use Duck only for searches which is marginally adequate.

DDG is working with no problems although I am still opening ON with Chrome until The Mandatory Option comes up next month. The EU (?) is forcing Google to offer everyone an alternative to Chrome Any Time Real Soon.

Also installed the free Kaspersky VPN which I will use sparingly so as not to go over 500Mb. My phone tarif is £10 a month for 4Gb.......
