The project announced today the introduction of a new feature called “Sync & Backup,” which allows users to import bookmarks, passwords, and personal settings from other browsers to DuckDuckGo. Moreover, it enables users to move that data from one device to another or restore it on a new device in case they lose their original device.
DuckDuckGo’s announcement declares that the new feature can do the following:
Privately sync and access the bookmarks and passwords saved in your DuckDuckGo browsers – including any you’ve imported from other browsers – across multiple devices.
Back up passwords, bookmarks, and favorites in case your device is lost or damaged.
Migrate your bookmarks and passwords to a new device.
Sync your Email Protection account between devices.
I’ve been using duckduckgo for years. It used to be great. Nowadays whenever I use it I have to redo the search with !g or !b again to see the same garbage results and maybe between the three of them I find what I was looking for.
Now I’m using searx with 3 4 enignes selected to at least get their results in the same page. It’s slower than I like it to be but overall it’s faster than redoing the search in multiple engines.
