Browser maker Mozilla is working on a new service called Private Relay that generates unique aliases to hide a user's email address from advertisers and spam operators when filling in online forms.

The service entered testing last month and is currently in a closed beta, with a public beta currently scheduled for later this year, ZDNet has learned.

Private Relay will be available as a Firefox add-on that lets users generate a unique email address -- an email alias -- with one click. "If any alias starts to receive emails you don't want, you can disable it or delete it completely," the browser maker said.

Unless they plan to buy thousands of unique domain names, most websites will simply blacklist their domain and not alllow signing up with it

Can I reply to messages using my ⁨Relay⁩ alias?
⁨Relay Premium⁩ users can reply to a forwarded email within 3 months of receiving the email. If you add a CC or BCC when you reply back to an email, your original email address will be exposed to the receivers and those on the email. If you do not want your original email address exposed, do not add CCs or BCCs when replying.

Will ⁨Firefox Relay⁩ forward emails with attachments?
Yes, ⁨Firefox Relay⁩ supports forwarded emails with attachments of up to ⁨⁨150⁩ ⁨KB⁩⁩ in size. If an email has an attachment larger than ⁨⁨150⁩ ⁨KB⁩⁩, it will not be forwarded.

Still won't let you use your own domain. mozmail.com is compulsory at the end which is stupid.

TBH if you're looking for anything more than what they're offering for free, there are other email forwarding products from way better, open-source and transparent companies with way better pricing and no arbitrary restrictions.
