Privacy Portal Extension

Hide your email when signing up for websites or enrolling to newsletters. Use auto-generated \"Privacy Addresses\" instead and have all your emails delivered to your personal inbox. This protects your privacy and eliminates spam from your inbox.

Whenever a website asks you for your email address, simply type the \"@\" sign in the email field and Privacy Portal will automatically fill in a new Privacy Address that privately relays emails to your personal inbox.

Privacy Portal's Mail Relay is compatible with all standard email providers. You don't need a special email account to use it.

The Privacy Portal extension is Open Source. It offers minimal functionality by design to provide you with the highest levels of privacy while browsing.
