Vivaldi browser uses DuckDuckGo search engine in private windows

In 2016, Opera co-founder Jon von Tetzchner launched Vivaldi, the desktop browser app. The desktop browser Vivaldi has won the favor of users due to its rich customization, powerful performance and a high degree of freedom. In today’s release update, the company announced a new feature that is small but very interesting.

Like most browsers on the market, Vivaldi also provides a private browsing mode to ensure that websites accessed by users do not record your information or store cookies and temporary files. Today Vivaldi announced that the default search engine in privacy mode has been adjusted to a privacy-conscious DuckDuckGo search engine, further enhancing the privacy protection of users.

DuckDuckGo was founded in 2008 and is considered to stand on Google’s search engine. This is mainly because its original intention and its greatest feature are that it promises not to analyze and track the user’s online behavior. And promise to provide the same search results as other mainstream search engines.

In 2014, Safari left DuckDuckGo a place in the search engine; Tor used it as the default search engine in 2016.

In most browsers such as Firefox and Chrome, the default search engine in the privacy protection mode is basically the same as the standard browser window. Although users can manually configure the search engine after switching to privacy protection, few people will actually modify it.
