The Electronic Frontier Foundation adopts DuckDuckGo’s HTTPS dataset

DuckDuckGo, which focuses on the privacy experience of web surfing, has provided an all-in-one private browsing extension for Firefox, Chrome and Edge browsers on the desktop platform. On iOS and Android mobile devices, it also provides so-called Smarter Encryption technology. After detecting the unencrypted HTTP connection of the website, it will be able to automatically upgrade to the secure hypertext transfer protocol (HTTPS) if allowed.

In this way, users can surf the Internet more confidently, so that personal data such as search keywords, the exact page visited, and any content entered into the website will not be compromised by potential network interception.

Today, DuckDuckGo is also proud to announce another milestone in cooperation. In order to provide first-class privacy protection technology to third parties, the company has just reached a cooperation with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

For more than 30 years, EFF has been committed to defending digital privacy and related rights. The latest move of the foundation is to integrate DuckDuckGo’s Smarter Encryption data into its own HTTPS Everywhere browser extension.

It is reported that Smarter Encryption is much more comprehensive than competing products. Through continuous re-crawling and automatic generation, it can ensure that relevant websites are accessed through encrypted connections as much as possible.

At the same time, there is also the Let’s Encrypt initiative jointly launched by EFF, Mozilla and Michigan State University in the industry. But DuckDuckGo’s Smarter Encryption data set now covers approximately 90% of all website clicks in search results.

After installing the HTTPS Everywhere extension on your PC browser, you will not only be able to enjoy better encryption protection, but you will also be able to get a smooth and silent experience without additional operations.
