The company has indicated that the Windows version is under development and should arrive soon. However, the beta version of the DuckDuckGo browser does not support any extensions. Other standard features such as password management, tab management, and bookmarks, are included.

The social media giant has long used such tricks to continue tracking its users even when they are not on any of the web properties that Facebook (now Meta) owns.
