My first email was at NetZero, lol, then yahoo.. then Gmail but I cancelled it.

I created a new Gmail account, to handle Google products like GA and GSC, using my personal email from a different source, mail.com. a subsidiary of 1and1.com.

I'm looking at usjng the DDG email, yet need to learn more about doing so.

Glad to hear. As I come back to this, I very well could have my DDG email sent to my settingpoints.com email address. But way back when It was before I had a business email, so it is being sent to GMAIL.

This conversation may prompt me to make that switch.

@rudy That was one of the main reasons I started with DDG! There is nothing to hide, and Google's spies have no reason to check things!

But I haven´t and even not thought about it, using their emails. It is bad enough to need to use Gmail.

After I start used it I use it many time, but quicker and in my opinion better. Use it both on a laptop and a mobile.
However, if I am working on websites, I use Google or Edge.

I used Firefox, too, after they fixed the browser so it was more secure, but after the new one, I only used it for 3 sites.

yet most people don't care or bother to change anything.

So true Rudy! My Mum's machine is likely riddled with Trojans and I'll say to her "You should update Windows, Mum" ... but she doesn't care!

@rudy It was by invitation when it started back in 2021. My duck.com email dumps everything into my Gmail account. I was one of the first to get the email address. You will need to use your DDG Browser, go to duckduckgo.com/email

@mrdon.

HEY Don, how did you acquire an email address with DDG? I wasn't aware that was possible....

DDG is alright if you're a privacy nut.

Not a comment I was expecting...

If I can control the tracking at all, I will find the tools to do so. We can modify the settings to allow or restrict activity on our browsers, sites etc, yet most people don't care or bother to change anything.

Ditto, I have DDG on my phone. I also have a duck.com email address. It has a different mix of content. I often thought that it was the lack of intrusion to guide searches.
