“We’ve removed the waitlist for DuckDuckGo Email Protection, making the beta open for everyone to try,” DuckDuckGo’s Omid Majdi writes. If you like the sounds of it, feel free to sign up by going to the settings menu on the application.DuckDuckGo announced that its Email Protection service, while still in beta, is now available to everyone. You don’t need to switch your provider or even deal with multiple accounts if you don’t want.

The biggest advantage of Email Protection is related to a very efficient email tracking protection system. You can even deactivate the tool, if and when you wish to stem spam flow toward the inbox. Whenever a message arrives on these accounts, it will be stripped away from any form of tracking. These can even be the most random ones, providing that’s what they want. Using this new tool, users are allowed to produce personal and unlimited private addresses. Since your email IDs are literally linked to almost everything and anything online like social media, work, and purchases, they can easily make the best use of their tracking strategies. It could provide details like where you happened to be when you opened that text up and what type of device you ended up using too. These become embedded inside email messages and can freely gather information by simply opening up a text. In a recent blog post put up by the company, we saw them speak in detail about how firms very Sneakily add trackers through pictures and links. This is done by hiding user identity and overcoming advanced tracking systems that are created by various ad firms, web players, and the world of online retailers too.

The whole goal is to provide protection against the threat surrounding user profiling. We can see this new launch as one that lies midway between classic email forwarding tools that route texts via users' inboxes without putting their address on display, and those related to private email services such as ProtonMail.
