I would prefer if someone else did it. Not because I do not trust DDG, but because I don't like the idea of one company providing everything (or too much). Why step into the footsteps of the dinosaurs?
- cinquemb 13y agoFair enough. >Why step into the footsteps of the dinosaurs? I'd think adding E2EE to email would be like what pagerank did to the search engine. Why build from the ground up when you can build on the shoulders of the giants?

- cinquemb 13y agoI agree, and that's why I was thinking that a company that is still growing and is known for their privacy practices could be good (beach-head?) at doing this (at least being able to advertise it on their own services to get some traction and feedback). It's not like google or anyone else is going to do it. And looking at DDG traffic, it seems like it is a growing need. Then again, how to you monetize encrypted emails? contextual encyrpted ads? ;)
