    DuckDuckGo's Windows web browser - Advantages and features - Part 2 - Deleting all data

    DuckDuckGo browser is devoted to privacy, there is no need for a private tab as all activity can be removed with one click using the fire button, which is at the top right of the browser's window. Clicking this will:

    Close all open tabs
    Delete browsing history
    Delete cookies
    Delete cached images
    Delete file downloads

    Should you want to keep your data for particular websites, you can do so by using the option 'Fireproofing'. You do this by right-clicking the tab concerned, and choosing Fireproof this site'. Right-click again if you decide to reverse the choice.

    Should you forget to use the fire button when closing the browser, you can prevent someone seeing the tabs you had open, by doing the following:

    1. Click three dot menu
    2. Click Settings
    3. In the 'On Startup'section, untick the box 'Restore windows and tabs from previous session'.


    Part 3 soon.
