bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2026-03-12 12:00:00

The DuckDuckGo web browser has expanded its built-in Scam Blocker tool to protect against a broader range of online scams, including fake e-commerce, cryptocurrency exchanges, and "scareware" sites. DuckDuckGo is a privacy-focused web browser and search engine that doesn't track users' searchers or browsing history. The browser, which became available as a public beta for macOS and Windows in October 2022 and June 2023, respectively, blocks all trackers by default, does not engage in personali

It was Victoria Gray’s first time in London and, despite a sleepless plane ride across the Atlantic Ocean, she wasn’t about to skip sightseeing.

Shopping for home internet can be expensive. Keep in mind the average monthly internet bill in the US is $78. However, there's nothing worse than discovering that your internet bill is increasing year over year. In some cases, your internet bill could even double or triple after a year. You might see an uptick in promotional offers from your internet provider, making it easy to fall into a web of broadband booby traps or, as I like to call them, internet pricing traps.

If you’re an athlete, then you remember all too well that the time between 2015 and 2020 was when recovery tools really took over. While hard to believe, there was, in fact, a time when a hard workout or a weekend long run didn’t end with a session in Normatec Legs or a bout with a massage gun. But in 2025, athletes of all ranges, from pro to amateur level, and in nearly every sport, have made recovery a key component of their training.

The 12-inch version is exceedingly thin and light with a fast-charging battery, and the refreshed form factor looks more premium.
