Offering users a seamless browsing experience against pop-ups, DuckDuckGo has come up with a new mode called Google Sign-in Pop-Up Protection for it’s browser.

DuckDuckGo’s Protection Against Google Sign-in
It has become a routine for every website to log you in for a personal account with them – so they track your interests in the name of offering free newsletters. Well, though this seemed like a win-win situation, you may be giving up more important things than what you’re getting in return.
And in most cases, this would happen by a simple Google sign-in. Websites force you to sign-up for an account to offer many benefits, and the simplest way to get you on board is with a one-click Google account sign-in. And if you’re paranoid about this practice, DuckDuckGo has a solution for you – Google Sign-in Pop-Up Protection.
NEW: Have you seen these Google sign-in pop-ups lately? They may seem helpful but signing in actually gives consent to being tracked.
