JAKARTA - DuckDuckGo browsers are now rolling out easier ways for users to access their information from various devices, including cell phones, Windows, or Macs.

The browser, which focuses on user privacy, announced that the new sync and backup features are capable of sharing markers, email protection settings, and passwords across devices.

Simply put, users can share information, for example, from DuckDuckGo browsers on PC or Mac to Android or iPhone and vice versa.

Phones and tablets can be connected using only QR codes, while the computer requires the user to enter the code.

This will not allow you to log in using an account, but you can still access synced data if the device is damaged, including Email Protection, which removes hidden trackers and creates a unique and personal email address.

While not logging in with DuckDuckGo accounts, users can still use existing features, with the entire process end-to-end encrypted, and the company admits it never received any information about its users' personal data.

We have developed an import and synchronization function that respects privacy without requiring a DuckDuckGo account and without sacrificing your personal data, the company wrote in its announcement.

This unique and comprehensive set of privacy protections is claimed to help protect your online activities, from searches to browsing, sending emails, and more.
