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.
