@hevov It's basically a system component which display web content. Android, Windows and other OS has this.
So you mean DuckDuckGo is just using the default browser engine?
Windows is probably using Edge/Chromium Mac OS is using WebKit.
That what you mean? I only found an Android app of a browser engine called System Engine.
@hevov No, It's using the Webview Implemantion of the OS, which is different than a OS based on chromium. Since it's function differently, probaly is based on Chromium, but is more like a fork of it. Windows has Edge Webview2 (Which isn't that much related to it), Android has Android Webview or Chrome if Webview isn't installed, you can also install alternative Webviews on Android. About iOS and MacOS, I don't rly know. They have probaly smth with webkit.
