Firefox Relay is a handy assistant to at least stymie email tracking and is neatly integrated with the browser. The free tier gets you a few masked emails that forward to your actual inbox. You can't reply through the masked email without paying, but that might not be necessary for all.
It feels like retaining some semblance of privacy is a losing battle. Data clean rooms are industry standard now and many companies happily share their bounties with others for profit. That appears to be the future along with consolidating businesses based on data-driven insights for demographics. How are these kinds of practices still legal? When does data collection and sharing become such a glaring issue that constitutional rights can be invoked in a landmark lawsuit? Or can we expect anti-trust suits to limit companies hoarding vast repositories of data?
It feels naive to ask these questions, but they're fundamental to societal health and progress, democracy, and arguably the planet.

- seszett 3y ago> How are these kinds of practices still legal? In the EU they are not, and as someone who has been using a custom email address for almost every service for the last 15 years or so, I have noticed that this almost doesn't happen anymore. The only cases where an email address receives spam anymore is after breaches, or very old addresses that have been sold more than 10 years ago.
