Firefox Relay Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Everyone Wants Your Email Address. Think Twice Before Sharing It

  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

• Mozilla names new CEO as it pivots to data privacy

  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

• Mozilla Monitor Plus: automatically remove your personal info from data brokers

  > 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

• Ask HN: How can we help Firefox not to dissapear?

  > 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

• Ask HN: Streaming Player Replacement for Roku?

  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

  There are also relay services that are helpful. I use Firefox Relay, but there are others. Source: 11 months ago

• See your identity pieced together from stolen data

  Yeah, nothing you can do about breaches that have happened, but there are precautions you can take to minimise the risk of breaches going forward - for example using a service that hides your email address and creates a fake one to give to companies, with any messages being forwarded to your real email, Firefox Relay and Apple's Hide My Email do this, and I'm sure there are others. Companies will only ever see... Source: 11 months ago

• Using disposable phone numbers should become mainstream!

  Not sure if this is what you're looking for. But this is phone masking. The downsides are that it is in the Firefox ecosystem depending on your web browser and it is USD 3.99 per month because it comes with a subscription to other products. Thought this would be helpful! Source: about 1 year ago

  I just realized that Firefox also has a solution: https://relay.firefox.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Standing stones support - Useless with a hacked account

  Since you've already been hacked that likely means your email address and personal information are on a criminal database on the dark web. I highly recommend using a unique email address for everyone account you have with a service like Simplelogin or firefox relay and very long complicated password with something like bitwarden or keepass are an absolute must these days. If you use a password manager then it... Source: over 1 year ago

• The IAB loves tracking users. But it hates users tracking them

  That's why for Firefox Relay [1], we recommend using random email masks, and why I use it over my own catch-all domain for unimportant things. We do support your own catch-all subdomain, but that is just to cover the use case of having to come up with an email mask on-the-spot. If you are filling in a web form, best to use an email address that looks exactly like the email addresses of other Relay users. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
