    Duck duck go does have a desktop version for Mac now. I am using it now. You must have the mobile version and request the version for your desktop through the settings of your mobile app. It takes a little while but it works well.

    It is good, but unfortunately only mobile. It depends on the web renderer the system provides, it would be better to my opinion if it used Servo for example.

    Very simple and easy browser, fits perfectly around the Gnome desktop. Made on top of WebKit, so it opens all websites as you would expect.

    It helps me stay focused on web pages rather than the web browser. It has everything I need and nothing more. The GTK interface is simply awesome.
