I am using Duckduckgo browser (on a mobile device). They do not save browsing history. Your example doesn’t show how to clear this browsers (Duckduckgo) cache, cookies, etc. Would clearing out all app data in settings for the app itself do the same thing?

Hello. Clearing out the cache in the application settings for duckduckgo would do the trick, or there is a fire symbol near the address bar when the browser is open, that should do the trick too.

Hello. Do you mean that you where trying to register? Our website should not just shut down, and we cannot activate the account according to your code as we do not see our client verification codes. Please try registering again and choose email as to receive the confirmation code.
