New Update Firefox for Android gets extension for listening to articles and hiding email addresses

[MuzzMelbourne]

Mozilla has added three new extensions for its Android web browser. Firefox only has a limit set of extensions on Android, and today’s new extensions add features and improve privacy. These extensions can hide the user’s email address when signing up to a website and remove tracking elements before sharing a URL. Another extension lets you listen to articles.

I've looked at Relay in the past, but opted for DDG Email Protection instead. Firefox Relay may be a better option for existing/avid FF users.

I have also used DDG Email. Only problem is I cannot customize DDG email ids so now using Anonaddy which lets me customize email names for different websites. For example, I can use "MalwareTips@username.anonaddy.com" but for DDG, it is "randomname@duck.com"

To be fair DDG's services are all in beta stages, they offer no paid options, and restrictive methods limit how users can access their services.

For most people SimpleLogin or AnonAddy are better choices. Firefox Relay appear to be competitively priced, matching AnonAddy Lite at $12 annually, and SimpleLogin Premium at $30 with AnonAddy Pro.

Also, Apple iCloud paid users have Hide My Email, but I use DDG to keep it simple.

Thanks zkSnark for the heads-up on AnonAddy's customisable names. Agreed its a little annoying with DDG.
