@arstechnica I like DuckDuckGo but if I can’t install a BitWarden extension on it, it’s useless to me. And besides, I like #FireFox

@arstechnica Let me guess, chromium based?

@qazcetelic @arstechnica Worse, edge based 💀

@arstechnica If it still uses Blink, is it really privacy centric?

@arstechnica Please tell me it handles certificate revocations properly (unlike its Android browser, which straight up doesn't check)

@arstechnica Does it still show ads from DuckDuckGo like the Android browser does? That's a hard sell for me.

@arstechnica I personally like Firefox, I don’t think I’d switch lol.

@arstechnica DuckDuckGo Browser - I'm trying this out for YouTube music. So far I'm not missing the adverts, but I guess I can always go back to Chrome if I do 🙂 . Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with playlists on YouTube, when I go to one and click "Play all" it just plays the first and then stops 😞 .
