This extension makes it quick and easy to view, search, manage and create new aliases.

Please Note: The free plan is currently limited to a total of 20 active shared domain aliases (e.g. *@anonaddy.me). You can still create unlimited standard aliases for free by giving out anything@username.anonaddy.com as your email address, the browser extension is not required to create these type of aliases.

To use this extension you first need to register an account with AnonAddy (it's free), then you can generate an API token on the settings page.

If you are self-hosting AnonAddy then make sure to click "change instance" and enter the location of your web app.

Paste your API token in the extension to save it. Now you can simply open the extension and create a new alias for any site.

Why should I use AnonAddy?

There are a number of reasons you should consider using this service:

Protect your real email address from spam by simply deactivating/deleting aliases that receive unsolicited emails
Identify who has sold your data by using a different email address for every site
Protect your identity in the event of a data breach by making it difficult for hackers to cross-reference your accounts
Prevent inbox snooping by encrypting all inbound emails using GPG/OpenPGP encryption
Update where emails are forwarded without having to go through and change your email address for each site individually
Reply to forwarded emails anonymously without revealing your true email address

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

AnonAddy - Anonymous Email Forwarding does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

AnonAddy - Anonymous Email Forwarding may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
