Burner Mail VS Firefox Relay

6 – Set up a forwarding address service such as (duckduckgo.com forwarding service, simplelogin.io [ProtonMail's property], burnermail.io anondaddy.com). Source: almost 1 year ago

I was using burnermail.io with a custom domain name that I own. They don't have any obvious way to export my 300 aliases that use my custom domain. I flipped my MX record to SimpleLogin and setup my custom domain as well. I turned on catch-all for my domain. As new emails come in with an alias created in burnermail, Simplelogin is auto-creating them which is awesome. Source: over 1 year ago

If you are interested in the "unlimited unique private email addresses" functionality, also take a look at these other services: https://33mail.com/ https://anonaddy.com/ https://burnermail.io/ https://relay.firefox.com/ https://simplelogin.io/ These all support custom domains, except for Firefox Relay, which only supports a custom subdomain. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

While this is a convenient choice, if someone gets access to your burnermail.io account you are screwed. The point about having it directly on an email server is that there is no traditional login and you can't trace which service provides the email server. They would need to provide a bring-your-own-domain feature as well as a rotating IP/proxy. Given they don't even provide the first, I doubt they provide the... Source: almost 2 years ago

Firefox Relay is a handy assistant to at least stymie email tracking and is neatly integrated with the browser. The free tier gets you a few masked emails that forward to your actual inbox. You can't reply through the masked email without paying, but that might not be necessary for all. It feels like retaining some semblance of privacy is a losing battle. Data clean rooms are industry standard now and many... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

That isn't alarmist, but almost all privacy features in Brave are already in Firefox as well. Looking at this page: - Chromium customizations: Not necessary in Firefox - Client-side encryption for Brave Sync: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-firefox-sync-keeps-your-data-safe-even-if-tls-fails - DeAMPing: I think AMP has been dead for a few years now - Limiting network server calls: I think this is a bit... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

> In a sense, it sounds like the advice of the services is less subscribing to them than trying not to have a few e-mails that map to your personal identity. Firefox Relay is a great way to do that :) https://relay.firefox.com Integrating that with Monitor is pretty high on at least my personal wish list. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

> In what ways has mozilla meaningfully dared to try and expand their revenue streams? I think that Mozilla VPN is pretty nice. It's based on Mullvad VPN, so they seem to know their audience (given that Mullvad has a pretty okay reputation among many tech savvy or privacy conscious folks, a lot of which probably use something like Firefox as well): https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/vpn/ I guess there's also... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

I've been dragging around a similar concern. My solution might be to use Mozilla's Relay for the email and Privacy.com for the credit card. https://relay.firefox.com/ https://privacy.com/ That won't stop the data collection but it should mitigate how useful it is. Maybe? - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
