There is always a risk associated with linking your email id with websites that you visit frequently. Your email address may be shared with other websites that may flood your inbox with incessant spam. Fortunately, browsers like Firefox offer a solution to this problem. The browser offers its users a tool that helps them reduce the spam load on their email address. It’s called Private Firefox Relay.
Firefox Private Relay add-on works as an anti-spam function
There are advantages to creating an email alias. For example, you get an additional email address that uses the same components as your primary email address like,
- Mailbox
- Contact list
- Account settings
Consequently, if the alias e-mail starts to be spammed or the user decides not to use the newsletters to which he often subscribes when registering for the service, he can simply delete this alias. There is no need to follow the tedious unsubscribe procedure.
How does the private relay function work?
- Go to the home page and add the Firefox private relay to the browser.
- Log in to send an invitation.
- Generate an alias instead.
- Click the relay button when a form prompts you for an email ID.
- Discard the account when its utility is served.
See detailed description below.
1]Send an invitation
To use the service, you will need to send an invitation and wait for it to be accepted. Once the invitation is approved, Mozilla Firefox Private Relay will be easily accessible.
Just go to the icon next to the address bar and click on it.
Next, generate an alias instead of the email address.
2]Delete account
Once the process is complete, enter the email alias with one click.
Now, when a form requires your email address, place your mouse cursor on the relay button and click on it to give it an alias.
Once this is done, Firefox will begin to forward the emails from the alias to your actual inbox. At any time, if an alias begins to receive emails that you do not want to receive on your email account, you can deactivate or delete it entirely, using the alias email as a disposable email account .
So keep your address to yourself and try the Firefox Private Relay feature today! Get it from here.
