Firefox Relay is a Mozilla service that generates email aliases (masks) which forward messages to your real inbox, hiding your personal address from trackers and spammers. The repository contains the Python/Django backend, frontend dashboard, and browser add-on, and can be self-hosted.
Use cases
- create disposable email aliases for signups
- hide my real email address from websites
- stop spam reaching my personal inbox
- reply to emails without revealing my identity
- self-host an email alias forwarding service
- block forwarding from a mask that gets spam
When to choose
- you want Mozilla-backed email masking with a browser extension
- you need aliases plus optional phone masking and tracker removal
- you want to self-host an alias service in Python
When to avoid
- you need full disposable-inbox features like attachment-heavy workflows
- sites that reject non-Gmail domains for verification
- you need spam filtering beyond what the upstream provider blocks
