JAKARTA - Mozilla announced that it is starting to launch a trial of a new Firefox Relay feature, an email proxy service that allows users to enable fake email addresses and phone numbers to register with a site or service via the Firefox browser.

Through this test, Firefox Relay subscribers will be able to access mask email directly to the Firefox browser, which allows you to keep your email address a secret when filling out an online form.

"Since its launch, Firefox Relay has blocked more than 2.1 million unwanted emails from people's inboxes while keeping the original email address safe from trackers across the web. We're always listening to our users, and one of the most requested features is Firefox Relay directly within the Firefox browser," the company wrote on its blog.

How to use the Firefox Relay email mask on Firefox

To use this feature, Firefox Relay users can visit multiple sites in the Firefox browser and when asked to register and share their email addresses, they can use one of their Firefox Relay email masks or create a new one.

Look at how it works here:

While it is currently still in the testing phase to some users, Mozilla hopes the company can expand it to more sites and to all Firefox users by the end of this year.

According to the announcement, Firefox Relay users can also set this new feature so they are no longer asked to use mask emails when finding pop-ups. If you don't have Firefox Relay, you can subscribe via the Firefox Relay site.

"Wherever you are online, Mozilla's trusted products and services can help you feel safer knowing that you have privacy protection for your daily online life," the company concluded.
