Privacy-focused company DuckDuckGo is launching a tool to remove data from people-search websites, a VPN, and an identity theft restoration service.

Curious about everyone’s thoughts on this.

Not end to end encrypted afaict. The only way id ever consider a service like this is if it was e2e.

Also incogni is owned by surfshark which i think is more important than their partnership with nordvpn

What’s the tea on surfshark?

Few years ago they killed their killswitch . I believe it was technically still an option but they reduced it’s capabilities so that it wasn’t functionally a reliable killswitch.

They also got heat for installing root CA certs. https://www.techradar.com/news/new-research-reveals-surfshark-turbovpn-vyprvpn-are-installing-risky-root-certificates

I believe both issues are “fixed”, but they were some questionable decisions
