    I like how you just assumed win7.

    I held off to - when 7’s support ended I moved to 8.1 and used openshell to make it look like 7. When 8.1 support ended I moved to 10 finally. I have to stay on a supported os for security and compliamce, but I make my employer pay for the upgrades and I don’t rush to the latest version - as long as its still supported I’m not moving.

    I have a light at the end of the tunnel tho. My work tools are getting official linux versions. My work laptop has been windows but my home desktop has been linux. I may be able to drop windows entirely soon.

    Edit: “he didn’t upgrade AND he disagreed with our hive minds opinion! Quick downvote!” How about you just Go back to reddit losers.



  • Having trouble finding it now, but this is thier own post over on reddit (4 months old now)

    How is it made? DuckDuckGo for Windows was built from the ground up by DuckDuckGo engineers with privacy, security, and simplicity front of mind. We are not forking Chromium (or anything else) and for web page rendering it calls the underlying operating system rendering API (in this case a Windows WebView2 call that utilizes the Blink rendering engine underneath). While this is the approach we’re taking now, that might change depending on the feedback we get from this round of testing. If there are changes to future versions, we will make that clear.

    If you’ve signed up and are waiting for an invite, we appreciate your patience! We’re letting folks in gradually so that we can implement feedback as we go.

    Love from the DuckDuckGo team 🦆

    I’m actually less confident having read this…Isn’t webview2 exactly what edge and chrome do? I now regret opening my mouth.
