Protect Your Online Identity with DuckDuckGo's Email Protection

If you're looking for a way to keep your online identity private and secure, DuckDuckGo has got you covered with its innovative Email Protection feature. This extension allows you to create new email addresses without needing to switch providers, giving you an added layer of protection against email trackers.

To access the Email Protection settings, simply click on the DuckDuckGo extension icon in your desktop web browser, followed by the cog button and then Settings. From there, you'll be able to manage your private email addresses and keep them secure. Alternatively, you can access these settings on your mobile device by tapping the menu button (represented by three dots) and selecting Settings.

While the Email Protection interface isn't the most user-friendly, it does provide a way to manage your email addresses effectively. If you need to delete one of your private email addresses - perhaps due to excessive spam or disuse - simply find an email sent to that address, click More on the summary at the top of the message, and select Deactivate next to the email address.

Another useful feature of Email Protection is its ability to upgrade links to secure HTTPS. This adds an extra layer of security to your online activities and can help protect against potential threats. If you're able to take advantage of this feature, you'll be notified on the same page, with more detailed information available by clicking More on the summary.

In addition to these features, DuckDuckGo's Email Protection also allows you to report any issues or problems with the service using a feedback form at the bottom of the page. Remember that the service is still in beta, so your input can help shape its development and improve overall user experience.

Overall, DuckDuckGo's Email Protection provides a reliable way to keep your online identity private and secure, without requiring you to switch providers or undergo significant changes to your email setup. By taking advantage of this innovative feature, you can enjoy greater peace of mind when it comes to your online activities.
