Just like Apple too, who also released an email privacy service, thread here: [1] But comparing that thread with this one, people seem oddly more skeptical of DDG than they are with Apple

Email is inherently insecure, I don't see how this is worse.

“Email is not encrypted” and “all of your emails are relayed to another system” are largely different things with different threat models (I trust DDG as much as one can in this sort of system)
