DuckDuckGo takes a new step in search of the definitive tools for protecting privacy on the Internet, and now it focuses on e-mails. The service presented<\/a> Email Protection, a tool that detects and removes the trackers included in the emails that arrive in our inbox<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This feature is currently under development, but will soon be publicly available. What it does is provide users with an alternative email address (@ duck.com), through which it is responsible for finding the trackers<\/em> that typically appear in emails. Once that task is accomplished, DuckDuckGo automatically forwards messages to people’s primary use account<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In this way, the service aims to strip emails of any unwanted content that can be used to target advertisements and generate a profile of online habits. Email Protection will be included in the DuckDuckGo apps for iOS and Android, but its functions will also be available from the mobile browser and extensions for desktop browsers. In the latter case it will be possible generate other @ duck.com addresses on the fly<\/strong>, for even more alternative uses.<\/p>\n
