The concept is fundamentally the same as Hide My Email or DuckDuckGo's service, but it's libre software and has (IMO) a better UI to manage addresses. It also stops tracking pixels, which Hide My Email doesn't do unless you also use Mail.app. It's hosted in the EU and runs entirely on renewable energy.
- nicky0 5y agoSeems great, but the same question I have with most email add-on services, how do I know you aren't reading my email? Seems a risk to introduce additional 3rd parties into the email system.
- tao_oat 5y agoI agree that this is a challenge! If you want to use the hosted version, it's impossible to avoid the need for that trust. I'm working on making self-hosting easier for this reason. Some other services (like Firefox Relay) will use AWS' Simple Email Service for everything. I opted to go for [MailPace](https://mailpace.com/ https://mailpace.com/), an independent, privacy-focused provider instead, which is an improvement but still not ideal. I believe that SimpleLogin lets you self-host your email, which is best from a privacy perspective, but I'm slightly concerned about the UX of having to think about email deliverability. Still experimenting with that!
