Mozilla has announced the integration of Firefox Relay, an email protection system that helps users evade trackers and spammers, directly into the Firefox browser.

From now on, whenever a user browses a website that requests them to create an account, Firefox Relay will offer to generate a new email mask or use an existing one.

Firefox Relay is a free email protection system launched by Mozilla as a beta in August 2020, offering users a way to create email aliases that help them protect their actual email addresses from spammers and trackers.

Firefox Relay is very similar to DuckDuckGo's Email Protection service, which also generates anonymous disposable aliases called "Personal Duck addresses."

Mozilla has now announced that the service will be integrated into the Firefox browser, and the option to use an alias or create a new one will be offered to Relay users.

Initially, Relay on the Firefox browser will be made available to a limited number of users and websites, but Mozilla promised to expand it to all users and more sites later this year.
