Initial launch and set up

After launching the app for the first time, I was surprised that there was literally no setup involved.

Granted, there are two screens presented at first launch. But they're hardly set up screens; they just have a bit of info on what the DuckDuckGo browser can do for you.

The first screen tells you a little about its privacy features and functionality.

The second shows a short video of adding DuckDuckGo to your device's homescreen dock, essentially suggesting you replace Safari.

Here are the 2 screens in order:

Right after you press "Start Browsing" on the second welcome screen, you do just that - you just start browsing!

I will admit that being thrown straight to the browser's start page was a little jarring, even for someone experienced in setting these kinds of things up.

I could understand how someone with less experience could be a little intimidated.

It could be beneficial if the developers added another screen. Perhaps one that identifies some of the unique privacy and security features that DuckDuckGo has to offer.

- VPN for secure connections on up to 5 devices

    I've been trying out different browsers, and this one is super fast compared to the others. However, it's still lacking some features. It would be great if they could add ad blocking and a dark mode for websites like other browsers have done. Also, the option to move the browser UI to the bottom of the screen instead of just the top would be really helpful. I do appreciate how quickly things load and how well it works on my Pixel, but there's definitely room for improvement and more features to keep up with the top browsers out there.

    Things are looking up! This little guy is fast and doesn't take up much space. It's top-notch. I'm not sure if it's using the Google DNS or the custom one I set up. Pop-ups and redirects still seem to trip it up sometimes. I'm unsure if the VPN feature is actually doing its job well. When the VPN is on all the time, even if I'm not online, my battery drains quickly. Seems odd.

    The browser is super light and quick to use. One great feature is the app tracking, which helps block tracking from apps not in the browser. It's like a big bonus! It really makes you realize that when you're not paying for something, you might be the one being sold. It's good to see they value your privacy here.

    Oh, I remember a little over a year ago I decided to download DuckDuckGo from the Google Play Store, and boy, am I glad I did! Let me tell you, this app has been a game-changer for me. It's so easy to use on my phone when I'm out and about. It works just like they said it would - no crashing or disappointments. I am really impressed with the quality and I'm definitely going to stick with it. The speed, efficiency, and tracker blocker are all top-notch. But the best part? It keeps all my stuff private. Big thumbs up to DuckDuckGo! Thank you so much for making my online experience better. 🦆🔍👍
