User reviews

SimpleLogin offers a valuable open-source solution for email protection, helping users maintain privacy and reduce inbox clutter. However, multiple users note the Firefox extension suffers from usability issues like poor UX, slow performance, and lack of seamless alias copying, which can hinder efficiency. Additionally, the free tier limits users to ten aliases before requiring payment. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a recommended tool for privacy-conscious users willing to invest time in managing their email aliases.

Pros

Provides secure and effective email aliasing to protect user privacy
Helps keep the inbox clear of unwanted emails
Open-source nature fosters trust and transparency
Integrates premium features when used with Proton

Cons

Extension has basic and poor user experience, especially regarding alias insertion in web forms
The add-on is perceived as slow and small in interface size
Limited free usage with a paywall after ten uses

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.

SimpleLogin: Open-source Email Protection requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

SimpleLogin: Open-source Email Protection is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
