Protect your email from hackers and trackers

Private Relay is a web browser add-on dedicated to providing security to your email client. Developed by one of the most popular browser organizations, Mozilla Firefox, this app aims to provide your email with protection from any possible internal or external hacking and tracking attempts by creating an email alias with just one click. It includes UI that will produce unique, random, and anonymous email addresses, which eventually be forwarded to the real email you are using.

Make your own email aliases

Most of the online accounts you are creating are usually connected to one or two of your email addresses. Using your email to create various accounts only exposes your details to higher risk. If one of your accounts gets hacked or tracked, the possibility of your other accounts linked, and any personal data associated, could be obtained by hackers and trackers are high. Here enters Private Relay. The app is capable of providing you with relay addresses that you can use to link your online accounts. With this, your real email account will not be easily accessed by online snoopers.

Private Relay is not only known for keeping your real email away from spam lists of sketchy companies. It also offers easy usage. To activate the usage of email aliases in a form, just click the relay button. It will immediately give an email alias you can utilize. You can also opt to disable or destroy the relay address anytime. By disabling this, you will no longer receive any further emails from it.

Private Relay is currently in an experimental alpha version, which can only be accessed with an invitation. However, Mozilla Firefox will soon release a wait-list on the program’s website, so you should keep your tabs on it. To access this also, you must sign in using any of your emails. A code will be sent for you to proceed in creating your Firefox profile.

Safeguard your email and important data

With all the hacking and tracking happening in the online community, having programs like Private Relay is essential. This app secures your email account and protects your personal and confidential information safe from potential hacking. With this, you can create accounts without worrying about your online security.
