Your email address is a unique identifier - after all, you’re the only one with it. Most people have only one or two email addresses, yet they have dozens, if not hundreds, of online accounts connected to them. Why bother? Email addresses are a hot commodity, and with good reason. If you’re an early adopter who likes to test new products, sign up for an invitation to give it a try. Firefox Relay will forward emails from the alias to your real inbox, keeping your actual email address hidden.įirefox Relay is currently in the experimental, closed beta phase, and it’s free for now. Click the relay button to give an alias instead. When a form requires your email address, but you’d rather not share it, Firefox Relay can help.

A lot of times when you share a product on Amazon or a social media post, apart from the core URL, there are characters and numbers that are meant to track you.Firefox Relay is a smart, easy solution that can preserve the privacy of your email address, much like a post office box for your physical address. Mozilla also added the ClearURL extension to the add-on store, which cleans up URLs from trackers and makes them short. Mozilla introduced a Firefox Relay premium service last year, which offers more than five email aliases and custom domain names. The idea behind it is not too different from Sign in with Apple, which doesn’t reveal your real email address.

The first extension is Mozilla’s own Firefox Relay, which lets you hide your real email address and allows you to input a proxy email address that redirects incoming emails to your inbox. Another extension lets you listen to articles.

These extensions can hide the user’s email address when signing up to a website and remove tracking elements before sharing a URL.

Firefox only has a limit set of extensions on Android, and today’s new extensions add features and improve privacy. Mozilla has added three new extensions for its Android web browser.
