Though these privacy tools are nice to have by default, the rest of the DuckDuckGo browser feels like what it is right now: a beta preview. “Incognito mode betrays users' expectations of privacy, and consequently, we believe it does more harm than good,” Beah Burger-Lenehan, Product Director at DuckDuckGo, told Laptop Mag. Incognito mode only pauses the browser from logging your browsing history and doesn’t actually prevent anyone from snooping on you, so DuckDuckGo is doing away with it entirely and instead expects users to simply hit the fire icon when they want a session to disappear from their browsing data.
With its own desktop browser, DuckDuckGo also aims to put a common online misconception to bed once and for all: the “private” incognito mode fallacy.
