We’re excited to announce the beta release of DuckDuckGo’s Email Protection. Privacy-focused browser company DuckDuckGo last year launched an Email Protection service as a limited beta. When we view the email, the server logs the fact that we have ‘seen’ that image, and therefore opened the email.Īdditionally, links in emails are often personalized, with unique codes added to the URL, so companies can see who has clicked on a link. This is achieved with tracking pixels – a single-pixel image unique to each copy of the email. Worse, the majority track when we open these emails. Unfortunately, a huge proportion of those emails are spam. As of this year, there are around 4.2B email users, and we collectively send and receive more than 300B emails on a daily basis. The privacy-focused email forwarding service strips out trackers, and offers the ability to create disposable email addresses, all without changing your email provider – similar to Apple’s Hide My Email feature … Backgroundĭespite the proliferation of messaging services available today, email has retained its dominant position as the primary way to contact people.
