To sign up for Email Protection, you'll need to use either the DuckDuckGo mobile app for iOS or Android, use DuckDuckGo's browser extension on Firefox, Chrome, Edge, or Brave, or use its beta Mac browser (the list for which must be joined in the DuckDuckGo mobile app). During their closed beta, DuckDuckGo claims that 85 percent of the emails it processed contained hidden trackers. Email sent to your address forwards to your chosen primary email-but with trackers removed.Įmail Protection now also fixes up links, strips them of tracking modifiers, upgrades unencrypted HTTP URLs to HTTPS where possible, and, for the rare necessary reply, allows you to send directly from your duck address instead of exposing your primary email.

The service provides you a email address, one intended to be given out for the kind of 'Subscribe to our newsletter for 20 percent off' emails you know exist only to harvest data and target you for ads. It has also added a few more privacy tools. so far, no search engine does this and i've tried some of tge more obscure ones.DuckDuckGo's tracker-removing email service, which has been available in private beta for a year, is now open to anyone who uses a DuckDuckGo mobile app, browser extension, or Mac browser.

The tells DuckDuckGo you want to use a bang shortcut, and the w is an abbreviation for Wikipedia. Then there are random pron sites in the moderate search.

which ends up having us close the tab and search again. I am writing this review because the top search results are either copy pasted articles that say the exact same thing, or there are malicious websites saying, 'you're the 1 billionth search' thing. Nor am i concerned with their compromising of our privacy. I am writing this review, not because of the common reviews of their going 'woke' or some stupid bullcrap these right weeners are on about.
