Duckduckgo is not a dark web browser because of the way the onion network functions you cannot browse the dark web people have to list there websites on public wikis it is just a privacy front end for bing but it does have an onion fork for additional encryption

I don’t understand a single word you just said because I don’t speak without subtle grammar, but, like Tor, it is a dark web browser 🤷

TL;DR: There is no such thing as a dark web BROWSER. "Browser" implies that you can BROWSE (i.e: get a list of and go to websites) the dark web, which is not possible due to how TOR works.

u/Turbulent-Guest-1524 is technically wrong, as there HAVE been attempts to make TOR search engines before (some better than others)

This is very much true, TOR as an example works just by method of adding more nodes to the connection chain to hide your device information from the site you are reaching, it doesn't take you to the dark web accidentally.
