This is dumb. Anyone installing this is giving absolute full control of their PC to riot and their Chinese owners. This level of control will do nothing to stop the most popular types of cheating from capture cards and AI. It’s a huge sacrifice with zero promise.
It’s similar. I made it to solve my spam problem, but it’s also really good for staying organized. When you sign up for something, you can use yourname-whatever@port87.com, then if you don’t want it anymore, you can block that address. Each address has its own label in your account, and blocking the address is just one click.
I researched this stuff a LOT. I originally only knew about anonaddy but it’s a pain to set up self hosted. There’s a lot of options but I really like the proton setup: proton pass + proton mail. Lets you respond to emails from the fake email created very easily.
My flow is like this: some website asks for my email, proton pass extension suggests a fake email using domain.hash@passinbox.com for example: shoppingwebsite.1c8sn@passinbox.com
I think it’s the best of all worlds and it’s why I switched from bitwarden as the flow is way faster and easier to use. And it’s a cinch to respond to emails from proton mail.
Before using the Adguard Temp Mail service, check to see if your own email provider offers the same.
I’m with Mailbox, and they offer temp emails, email aliases, and email extension (“+” to separate email addresses.
Side note, as a paying Adguard customer, I’m salty that they got rid of their active support forum. I will not go to Reddit or some third-party site to ask questions. Their support forum was really helpful for many years, and removing it is a massive step backwards.
How do you find mailbox? Currently wanting to migrate to it from Protonmail, due to the lack of Linux support… (Migrating to different services all around as I also don’t all eggs in one basket) Mailbox seems like the most affordable and good solution.
I love it. In fact, I ended up getting a second account for small business.
For Linux, I couldn’t really tell you how well it works. It works well with Thunderbird on Windows and Fairemail on Android. But I usually use the web interface, which works everywhere 😀
I use DavX on android to sync my contacts and calendar without any issues.
The price is great, and I appreciate their transparency and privacy-respecting business model.
I found a service like this 8 or 10 years ago. That one also let you reply to emails from the temp address. You couldn’t send a new email to initiate a conversation but you could reply to one to continue a conversation. Unfortunately I didn’t save that link so don’t know what the service was now, so it’s good to know about this.
I use some kind of temp mail quite regularly. Some websites I visit offer free download of stuff in exange for email address to get newletter (and other marketing/ad bullshittery). Temp mail is ideal for this.
Shame I was few used it but I think it is interesting that people actually reporting issues and seems to be expected to fix.
I simply would just use a step down in security, that’s why I am using brave in first place. Oh don’t run my no script Firefox, oh don’t run on Librewolf. Guess I try brave now. Oh don’t work striked guess standard it is
Not to mention that people have telemetric on. Because I don’t think most that willing to have websites break for security would like telemetric on.
