Mozilla is a non-profit community that creates applications and software that protect the security and privacy of users. Another innovation from Mozilla, which produces products such as Firefox Browser, Firefox Monitor, Mozilla VPN and Facebook Container: Firefox Relay Service. With this application developed by Mozilla and offered to users free of charge, we can keep all the control without sharing our personal e-mail addresses with any site.
So how do we achieve this control? Quite simply: Firefox Relay; creates an e-mail address that acts as a hyperlink. The service that identifies these random Firefox extension email addresses to us; protects our personal email addresses. Messages sent to the e-mail addresses defined for us are also forwarded to our personal e-mail addresses. In short, Firefox Relay establishes a bridge between us and third parties; It hides our identity.
Although it may seem like a Temp Mail or derivative at first glance, the essence of the matter is not quite like that. Although we obtain a random e-mail address in software such as Temp Mail; There was confusion and difficulty as messages were sent to this randomly generated email address. Firefox Relay welcomes us with a different alternative. When you log in to the system with your Firefox account, you are given a username and e-mail. After simply making the necessary settings; Every message sent on behalf of this user is forwarded to your personal e-mail address. Briefly; Again, we use our personal e-mail address, but there is an intermediary e-mail address to ensure our security and privacy.
