Vivaldi's Private browsing to now use DuckDuckGo as the deafult search engine
The privacy mode is the same as the incognito mode in Google Chrome, except Vivaldi will not store cookies and temporary files of the websites you visit. Starting today, Vivaldi, which incidentally focuses more on user privacy, will enable DuckDuckGo as its default search engine in its Private browsing mode. The search engine says that it does not track its users’ online search behaviour and provide results based on that, which is Google’s modus operandi. Vivaldi is trying to enhance its privacy settings by using DuckDuckGo as its default search engine in its Private browsing and any other search engine in its normal mode. “A lot of people think their searches aren’t tracked in private browsing modes — unfortunately, that’s not true,” said DuckDuckGo CEO and founder Gabriel Weinberg to VentureBeat.
