I love DuckDuckGo, cannot wait until they create a E-Mail service, to stop using GMail.
I am really happy with DuckDuckGo's Internet Browser,

When it up came up to my Computer Software Industry manager brother's attention, his response is that it must be Chrome based. Implying it is not as good as I imagine in preventing data collecting & Etc., because it is based through Chrome. I just trusted DuckDuckGo, being a long time user of their services, is not just working through Chrome & allowing data collection & Etc., that DuckDuckGo has made it's services to be against.

Two-Off Topic of this thread-question, Why, under 'Browsers List's 'Open Source browsers, is DuckDuckGo not listed or listed any where?
&
Why, under 'Browsers List's 'Closed Source browsers, is Chrome not recommended? I do not disagree, I hate it & I know why I would not recommend Chrome, but I am wondering why not recommended by forum creator? Very publicly, You would think it would make this forum unpopular, given Microsoft & Chromes popularity.

Duckduckgo browser is a mediocre, Chromium-based browser. Zero reason to use it over Ironfox (Android), Librewolf (Desktop) or a debloated Brave

Dont cling to an ecosystem.

There are already many good email providers like mailbox.org, dismail, posteo and more, that work with open standards and normal mails.

Thundermail will be out soon too afaik

I hear, but I have spent tone of hrs. trying to find a replacement. Been told even on here that what I am looking for does not exist, With The USA that probably is true, Maybe in Scandinavian countries, I once found a E-Mail service for Beings Rights Activist, but could not get involved, even though I was-am a Beings Rights Activist.

There are maany and if you pay a very small amount you get a mail there.

It is 1€/month for the basic plan

Your writing style is very confusing to read. I recommend to foxus on punctuation and short sentences, read sentences again before sending them.

First two paragraphs feel like reading a scam email, except far more "engrish".

About your first question, if you mean the community description, possibly it is very old, even before Firefox's blunders became obvious, so may that's why it doesn't include other alternatives.

About your second question, who knows. Most people would have guesses and conjectures at best as to why Chrome is the only one with the not recommended mention.
