Mozilla has made the Firefox Relay service available for testing for everyone interested. Previously, access to Firefox Relay was only available by invitation, but now it is accessible to any user through a Firefox Account. Firefox Relay allows you to generate temporary email addresses for signing up on websites without exposing your real address. You can generate up to 5 unique anonymous aliases, with emails sent to them forwarded to the user's actual address.
The generated email can be used for logging into websites or for subscriptions. You can generate a separate alias for a specific site, and in case of spam, it will be clear which resource is the source of the leak. In the event of a site hack or user database compromise, attackers will not be able to associate the registered email with the actual user's email address. At any time, you can deactivate the generated email and stop receiving messages through it.
To simplify working with the service, it also offers , which, when an email is requested in a web form, suggests a button to generate a new email alias.
Additionally, it is worth mentioning about the resignation of Kelly Davis, head of the Machine Learning Group at Mozilla, which develops speech recognition and synthesis projects (, , ). It is noted that these projects will likely remain available for collaborative development on GitHub, but Mozilla will no longer invest resources in their development.
