DuckDuckGo launches a new email protection service to remove trackers. At the same time it gives you the opportunity to receive an email address '@duck.com'
Η searching machine του διαδικτύου DuckDuckGo σχεδιάζει να ξεκινήσει στο εγγύς μέλλον μια υπηρεσία προστασίας email που θα περνά όλα τα εισερχόμενα email μέσα από τους διακομιστές του με σκοπό στο να εμποδίσει τις Companies ads to spy on your inbox. That is, it will work similarly to Mozilla's service firefox relay.
The new possibility of protecting the company's email provides users with a free "otidipote@duck.com" style email address, which will forward emails to your regular inbox after analyzing their content for trackers and of course remove. DuckDuckGo will also extend this feature with unique, one-time use forwarding addresses that can be easily generated in the program tours for mobile or via browser extensions.
DuckDuckGo personal email is intended to be given to your friends and contacts you know, and disposable addresses will serve wherever you sign up for free trials, newsletters or anywhere you suspect may sell your email address. So if the email address has been compromised, you can easily turn it off.
The company has a reputation in safety and privacy after running the corresponding one so far DuckDuckGo search engine focusing on the privacy of its users.
Email trackers exist in more than 70 percent of mailing lists, according to a 2017 study. Once implemented, they allow advertisers to understand when you open email, where you are when you open it, and what device usesth. Disabling trackers prevents the creation of a hidden personal advertising profile.
New mode of DuckDuckGo is starting in beta testing and is expected to go live in a few weeks. Users who will build a Free DuckDuckGo email account here, will be notified of the launch of the service (an invitation to create an email is currently required). DuckDuckGo users can register on the waiting list only by downloading the official DuckDuckGo app for iOS or Android. You can find the option in Settings> Email Protection (beta).
The company is also working on a desktop browser, which will focus on privacy, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2021.
a little guide on how to make e-mail in the service would be quite useful.
