GatedBox Extension

GatedBox makes your online experience a private experience by giving the user control over how their information is used on the internet.

For example:
• Gated Email: Every time you need to enter your email address online, you can auto-generate a proxy email that will forward to your real email. If you begin receiving spam at a proxy address you can easily block it, while continuing to receive forwarded email from your other gated addresses. This eliminates spam as well as the ability for companies to sell your real email address.
• Gated Passwords: To cut down on dangerous password reuse, we can auto-generate secure passwords for you to use and make your browser remember them for you.
• Gated Browsing: We let you know when a site is untrustworthy by displaying a trust indicator in our drop-down menu.
• Gated Search: We provide a quick shortcut to the DuckDuckGo anonymous search engine.
