Qwacky - An open-source client to generate & manage DuckDuckGo email aliases!

General Project Showcase

If you don’t have an account already, you need to use DDG extension for the first time to sign up then you can remove it later and sign in to Qwacky.

I will try find a workaround in the future to make a sign up option in Qwacky so you don’t have to use DDG extension at all.

Understood! I thought it was possible to create an alias from the beginning (“to generate & manage DuckDuckGo email aliases!”), so it’d be helpful if you could clarify this point in the product explanation :grinning_face:

Thank you for the clarification! Misspellings like this were expected in any write-up related to the project, since English is not my native language.

I will do my best :+1:

v1.2.0 is finally here!

And it’s my favorite one so far!

This is really how i wanted it to be from the first release, To be even more secure and privacy respect by using minimal and optional permissions and a way to toggle them on/off, But since it was my first time making a chrome extension i couldn’t make it then, so yeah hopefully nothing brakes after this update :slight_smile:

Approved in Firefox and still pending in Chrome
