Hi everyone.

Today I want to share with you this new browser extension, which allows us to control who send to us an e-mail.

Here is the official description:

Control who can send you email. A cleaner inbox means a happier you. Throttle is a service that keeps your email address safe and your inbox clean. By seamlessly substituting random, unique email addresses for use online, it gives users control over who gets into their inboxes, for the first time ever.

The Throttle extension provides a button in sign up forms that allows you to generate unique email address to sign up with so you don't have to give out your real address.

Homepage: Control who can send you email with Throttle


This extension is avalaible for Firefox and Firefox-based browsers, Chrome and Chrome-based browsers.

Downloaded it to test, at first use there are a lot of hoops to jump through.
Will write more as I explore this add on.
Thanks JM

EDIT::
Getting this screen after install:

But nothing in my inbox or spam to confirm, not a very good first impression.

Without the Confirmation email you can't post to report the issue on their support page, so it's a catch 22
Removed the addon, that was very short lived lol.

Yeah, I had that issue as well. Every time I click on subscribe during the test that page would open up, but no email was send.
Tried to click on subscribe multiple times while disabling my addons one by one to see if there was a conflict, and somehow it was allowed.

why use an extension for that...don't you have contact list and deny any non-contact emails?
