This is a plus, I’ve noticed the duck.com addresses from DDG are already blocked heavily.


Really? Where have you noticed this?


Lots of random weirdness for me trying to use mine. Most recent example was trying to checkout as a guest on Little Caesar’s app. Kept declining my Apple Pay transaction without telling me why — changed the email and it worked.

There’s only been a handful of times I’ve used it, maybe 12? At least a few of those times it wouldn’t even let me submit it saying it was an “invalid email”. Couldn’t even get past the validation.


Any idea if using a custom domain would have worked better here? I wouldn't be surprised if some places only accept email addresses from a small set of "known" providers


Custom Domains work fine, that’s my primary email. Doesn’t do much for privacy though.


Any website that uses a library such as this one: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/micke/valid_email2/master/...
