This makes it a perfect match for Mozilla’s browser. Mozilla tells VentureBeat that DuckDuckGo works just like all the other search engines the company includes in its browser there are no additional or missing features.ĭuckDuckGo has a reputation for protecting searchers’ privacy as it doesn’t track your queries. Next up, Firefox has added DuckDuckGo as a new search option. You now have a clean slate and can continue your browsing it’s like the previous events never happened. Pressing the button will offer a drop down menu where you can select to forget the last five minutes, two hours, or 24 hours (there’s no custom option, as Mozilla says it wants the experience to be quick). It has a slightly different use case: If you’re using a shared computer and find yourself on a site you didn’t want to open, you can hit the button to let Firefox know that you want to forget the most recent browsing history.
Mozilla pitches the Forget button as a complement to its private browsing mode, giving users more control over how history is recorded.
