    I’m using Proton Pass aliases and they work like a charm. With the browser plugin, it’s easily feasible to generate one for every single thing you sign up for. I would argue that there are some advantages over DDG (although I haven’t used their service in for quite a while):

    1. Proton applies E2EE to incoming mails
    2. If the mails go to your Proton account anyway, removing DDG means removing a proxy that could read your mails or be an attack vector to do so
    3. Afaik you can secure your proton account way beyond what DDG offers (password + 2FA + Sentinel + extra password for Mail + extra password for Pass) if you want to
    4. Convenience: You can manage everything in Pass and it tells you right away what you created an alias for, allows to create accounts from it etc.

    Is it a total game changer? Probably not.
