DuckDuckGo, the security browser, is now allowing you to sync your data across devices. Also, this feature will work on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone devices. In addition, you will be able to use this feature without an account. On top of that, your data will be end-to-end encrypted. Thus, nobody will be able to get to it easily.

How do I sync DuckDuckGo across devices?

With the DuckDuckGo sync feature, instead of using an account, you will have an alphanumeric code for desktops and a QR code for other devices. Moreover, you have to do this only once. Afterward, your DuckDuckGo data will always sync locally via the internet.

To use the DuckDuckGo sync feature you need to:

  1. Go to the DuckDuckGo’s Settings.
  2. Chose Sync & Backup.
  3. Select Sync with another device.
  4. Follow the given instructions, and you’re good to go.

If you are wondering what will happen to your data if you delete the browser on the go, know there is a solution. After all, you can sync your DuckDuckGo data in a single device backup. To access it, you will get another code available as a PDF file. So, we recommend you store the PDF file with the recovery code on your most trusted device.

Last but not least, this DuckDuckGo sync feature is well thought out and useful. After all, if you don’t use an account like this, your data will be safer. Also, it is great that you can access the sync option easily. Furthermore, if you are looking for a private browser, we recommend you switch to DuckDuckGo.
