In their own words
Alias Email
Alias Email creates alternative email addresses that forward messages to a primary inbox, helping users keep their main address private and organize incoming mail. Aliases can use personal or business domains, send anonymous email, and forward to multiple recipients. The browser extension can generate an alias from an email field, including in website forms, popups, modals, and online chats; it is listed for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, and Tor. Alias Email says it removes trackers from forwarded messages and allows a PGP public key to encrypt messages before forwarding, while the user keeps the private key. Forwarded mail is not stored except during service outages, when it may be held temporarily for up to three days. The service says it uses TLS, SPF, and DKIM, is GDPR compliant, and does not sell or disclose user data. Its free plan includes 10 aliases and one custom domain. Premium costs $39.96 a year, equivalent to $3.33/month billed annually, and includes unlimited aliases and two custom domains. There are no mobile apps.
