DuckDuckGo's web browsing app for Mac users is now in an open beta test. The app has been in a closed beta since April. It features the same built-in protections featured in DuckDuckGo's mobile apps. The browser also has a video player that protects users from targeted ads and cookies while watching YouTube content, pinned tabs, a bookmarks bar, email tracker blocking, and more. It uses around 60% less data than Chrome. A Windows version is currently in development and a private beta is expected in the coming months.

"DuckDuckGo says the Mac browser uses around 60 percent less data than Chrome."

• DuckDuckGo for Mac is based on the WebKit rendering engine used by Safari, which the company claims allows it to use “about 60 percent less data” than Chrome.

• It has additional password protection provided via the integration of Bitwarden, an open-source password manager.

• DuckDuckGo for mac already supports 1Password’s universal autofill feature.
