Firefox Relay?

Another service that is pretty cool is Firefox Relay. It allows you to make an address that redirects the email to your actual email. This way you can receive emails without giving away your email address. You can either turn off the link or delete the address when you don’t want to receive more emails from a website. https://relay.firefox.com/
Non so se fa al caso tuo, ma Mozilla ha un nuovo servizio chiamato Firefox Relay.
Praticamente ti genera degli alias (5 al massimo mi pare) che puntano in realtà tutti alla tua stessa email principale. La cosa interessante é che puoi bloccare la posta in arrivo su determinati alias, in modo tale che le email dei siti a cui ti sei iscritto tramite quel alias non vengano reindirizzate alla tua casella principale.
Inoltre questi alias sono una serie di caratteri a caso quindi hai un pelo di privacy in più.
Hi!
I won't say anything that the other mates have commented. But for this kind of situation (our accounts exposed on several data breaches), the best option is to use an alias generator. I'm using SimpleLogin and Firefox Relay. That way, you won't always expose your real email to many services like this, and if a breach occurs, you simply shutdown that alias and use another for that services.
Ah, and for an alternative... I don't use this services because of their treatment to their workers, so a better option is to use JustEat, because that platform is only an intermediate between you and the restaurant, which has their own "riders". It's not a privacy-friendly alternative, nor FOSS, so I'm using it on my secondary Android (old phone), aside of my main stuff on my main phone. If you don't have this option, try to isolate this apps with Shelter, for example.
Saludos :)
You can also use Firefox Relay or similars.
Instead of being a temporary email, it gives you an email address and forwards mails received there to your main email account. You can use it to register for longer lived services without having to provide your real mail address.
Be me, different account on different things
- Work related;
- Social Media Stuff;
- Finance and Payment;
- Shady things, tapi maskig pake firefox relay.
Bukan soal organize doang sih, tapi keamanan juga. Tadinya gua cuma pake satu email buat semuanya tapi waktu cek di pwned kena breach, langsung gercep misahin semua email.
Lumayan capek sih misahinnya apalagi web/apps Indonesia, like yo wtf i just want to change my email.
>If you are registered with Nickserv then you gave Freenode an e-mail-address.
I don't use this so if your email is not visible to other users, check out FF Relay
or other such tools
I've heard that, but in my experience, I haven't had those problems. I use alias for the mainstream services (social media, amazon/aliexpress, etc). And no problem.
But the people of r/Simplelogin stated on their blog last month that some services could be banning frequently domain names, as @ relay.firefox.com. They offer several domains, on paid plans most of them.
But at this time, I haven't faced any trouble.
Mozilla (the people that make Firefox) offers a service for that called Relay actually.
You can use it to create email aliases that forward onto your own address (e.g. ) or you can pay to have your own domain if you want to pay US$0.99 a month for it.
E.g. You could have a restaurant send a booking confirmation to or have a store send an e-receipt to .
if you need an alt email account, check out Firefox Relay, basically makes a email address that just forwards to your normal email. Handy if you don't want to give someone your actual email address.
MIT Lincoln Laboratory is leading the way in laser communications research and supplies directly to NASA. Well-worth checking this out.
I suspect that the form data could be harvested by Facebook, or its sponsors COMSOL and PI. If you don't want to give in your real email, they don't ask you to authenticate it, and to be safe you can use an email relay service such as https://relay.firefox.com/ which you can always switch off.
I don't know if other platforms offer that service as well but Firefox has this amazing thing called Firefox Relay.
Basically, instead of giving companies your real email address, you give them a virtual one which redirects to your real email. That way, if they spam you or, worse, sold your email to other companies to spam you as well, you can disable the relay and they can't contact you anymore.
If you have another email address (yours of your friend's) but don't want to register it to Mailfence, I may suggest that you create a relay with e.g. relay.firefox.com, which will create an anonymous address relaying mail to your other email. Afterwards, you could delete the relay (but won't be able to recover your account).
>I put +spam as the tag for some garbage service I signed up for, and not a week later I was getting spam with that tag. So not all of them are smart.
Why not use Firefox Relay /u/cbstryker for such services?
Kinda like they give you a proxy email which you can handover to the service and there is auto-mail forwarding.

I have both Nano X & S before the breach and still they got my email I’m paying a premium for it and I don’t know what to do honestly.
I’ve never really seen the appeal to Ledger Trezor was my first then Nano S then BitBox 1 & 2 then ledger X.
I wanted to see what the fuss was about everyone is recommending Ledger. Nano S feels cheap and used to be the price of the Nano X. Was skeptical about Bluetooth vulnerabilities more than my data being leaked.
So I changed my phone number easy enough there’s no KYC for that anyway and now use that one to sign up for delivery notifications if applicable though I should probably think 2x because of it already attracting scam links moving house isn’t so easy but something I’m seriously considering!
Using Protonmail as my email provider paying €150+ for a now “tainted” email. I report all I can to but that can only do so much.
So I have tips for next time
Use a disposable phone number.
Use a throwaway email address like https://relay.firefox.com (unfortunately still in beta and didn’t exist when the attack happened) you get 5 throwaway email aliases you can keep deleting and regenerating them there’s no limit to how many times you can do it and I love this feature Firefox has.
If possible use a PO Box.
I think the reason why this is such a big shock to everyone is because normally crypto exchanges get hacked not crypto hw retailers. It can happen to anyone and any business and this is proof.
Use a throwaway email and phone number if it’s possible because of their phishing campaign.
I’ve had 1 email and 2 sms messages from scammers trying to make me sim swap.
https://relay.firefox.com could be a solution because it can forward or block incoming emails use this for making orders with ledger or companies you want to buy from but don’t know their security reputation or if they’ve suffered a data breach. It can happen to anyone.
Be prepared.
You can block and forward incoming emails. It’s an addon for Firefox and you need a Firefox account. You get up to 5 temporary emails you can delete and regenerate them.
When you forward the email it’s automatically forwarded to your Firefox account email. When you don’t want to receive anymore emails you can either delete it or set to block.
They’re different.
My understanding is MS released the functionality to have labels in an email address much like in Gmail. E.g. .
Anonaddy allows you to have proxy email addresses that cannot be tied back to your actual email address or to your domain (you can clearly tell what the true email address you use is in the gmail example). AA also allows you to generate new email addresses on the fly and kill off others as needed.
Anonaddy is more like Firefox Relay than what MS released. MS’ feature is more like being able to have email address labels.
Firefox Relay: https://relay.firefox.com
My Apple ID is my ProtonMail account and I use the Apple Relay service whenever available.
I’m also apart of the Firefox Relay beta (https://relay.firefox.com) and haven’t had any issues. My Firefox account uses my .pm alias.
I haven’t used burnermail.io yet, but it’s worth trying out.
If a service denies a PM address, you can also look to using an email forwarding service such as Firefox relay: https://relay.firefox.com/
​
I use nextcloud with a protonmail address I think you are having a different type of issue.
It's a good little cheeky extension, that.
I use my custom domain for important stuff (on top of my CV; private connections; business that I don't mind the odd leaflet from) and my pm.me one as my spam account. Though I'm eagerly waiting on Firefox Private Relay to come out of Beta so I don't have to use my pm.me at all, for reasons relating to your OP.
I assume they're only going to be inviting a certain number of people based on when they signed up. The AMO page says there will be a signup form on relay.firefox.com "soon," but it's, obviously, not there yet, so your only choice right now seems to be to wait until the main site has signup information.
