Reliance Jio recently took on the mobile browser industry with its own JioPages app. This is the company's potential rival to Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox and others. A bunch of features were talked about the browser at the time of the launch. However, not all of them were available when it rolled out to the masses. Some of them are rolling out now as a part of the JioPages update.

The first is the inclusion of Duck Duck Go search engine. This means now you can select Duck Duck Go Search Engine as a default. It is said to be more secure since it does not log user information and uses cookies only when required. You can select this search engine by navigating to the bottom right hamburger icon > Settings > Quick settings> Select search engine.
