(#cepoeiq) @mckinley mmh ok. Do they? I don't know. I didn't know. I like them.

(#cepoeiq) @mckinley > Proprietary software claiming to “protect your privacy” cannot and should not be trusted. I agree with this 💯 -- There is no better scrutiny of software than one that's built in the open for all to see and exploit its weaknesses 👌

(#cepoeiq) @prologic Yes, they said they intend to do so, but it doesn't matter what they say. Proprietary software claiming to “protect your privacy” cannot and should not be trusted.

(#cepoeiq) @mckinley Ahh I see. Well at _least_ they do intend to open source it? 👌

(#cepoeiq) @prologic The mobile browsers are both free software, but the Mac OS browser is currently proprietary. > We plan to open source our Mac app after the beta period, like we’ve done for our iOS & Android app, and many of our built-in privacy protections are already open sourced.

(#cepoeiq) @mckinley I did not know DDG was all proprietary 🤦‍♂️

(#cepoeiq) @carsten > why not? What is wrong about that browser? It's proprietary and DuckDuckGo has had a sketchy past.

(#cepoeiq) @carsten I tried duckduckgo on Android and was pleasantly surprised but it's still somewhat immature as a daily driven browser for me, especially the tabs navigation, I even filed a feedback report about it from the settings in hope it gets better. Sadly there no Linux version right now, once it's out I'll definitely try it out.

(#cepoeiq) @tel why not? What is wrong about that browser?

(#cepoeiq) @carsten NOOOOOO
