Firefox Relay makes it easy to create email masks that forward to your true inbox.
Firefox Relay: Protect Your Email & Enhance Online Privacy
Firefox Relay is a Chrome extension designed to protect your email address and online identity. This tool generates unique, random aliases for online account sign-ups, app registrations, or newsletters and forwards the messages to your actual address. It enables you to safeguard against unwanted emails by blocking or deleting aliases linked to spam. It collects basic personal details, payment info (if you opt for Relay Premium) and location data. Additionally, its capability to access web history across visited sites enables a wider protection scope. User activities are monitored to optimize performance.

Хорошее расширение. Жаль что конченая политика Google cкоро может прекратить поддержку этого расширения, так как оно ложило болт на эту самую политику и работает для людей, а не на корпорацию зла.

Does it work, yes. It also sends (and does admit to for the minority that read it) all your web browsing traffic to the mail provider. This is a blatant attempt to prey on the uninitiated. Either of these alone should be reason enough not to trust or use this extension. The fact it's likely to be removed for not complying with Google's Extension requirements, is strike-3 in the blatantly obvious reasons not to use this Extension (If you read & understood these terms, concern should be clear.
If you're ok sharing browsing information? Ensure trafffic & browser calls are monitored closely to ensure their honesty.
If ok with a third party? (and sold again to companies who aggregate user data from numerous sources).
If you answered yes.
Save yourself the risk, perform due diligence research, and purchase a dedicated service if this feature is so important to you. More than one alternative option exists, and i urge equirers down these routes, but some persist. There's only one product i would ever recommend to friends, family & customers (or ever use myself).
Despite not it, i purchased a lifetime subscription in order to provide my support to self-funded OSS, run by an NFP organisation, with a strict NGO stance, and a strong mission statement solely to protect, educate and empower internet users. I just hope their message is heard and the importance of individuals' privacy to the upcoming generations before its meaning is lost forever. Just because it's the internet, it does not mean that it has no need or right to privacy.
