The privacy-focused email forwarder removes trackers and meanwhile offers the ability to create disposable email addresses without changing your email provider, similar to Apple’s Hide My Email feature.
“We’ve also added new features such as connection tracking protection to help prevent tracking on email connections, smarter encryption to assist unencrypted email connections, and the ability to respond directly from your Duck Addresses,” the search engine writes.
Search engine DuckDuckGo claims to track the number of tracker emails during the limited beta. Thus, he discovered that 85% of incoming emails contain them.
Therefore, if the links in the emails are insecure (HTTP), the company checks for an encrypted version (HTTPS). If so, this version will be installed instead.
You can also optionally keep your email private when replying directly from one of your @duck.com email addresses.
