Hey, I outlined some tools in my list here! TL;DR is Proton Mail + addy.io is as good as it gets, with Tuta and SimpleLogin as close contenders. Good luck!
Proton purchased SimpleLogin in 2022 and the creator/dev has been working there ever since. Also, you can easily create random email aliases in Vaultwarden/Bitwarden via the SimpleLogin API.
I knew this, I'm trying not to keep my eggs in one basket.
This still requires a SimpleLogin/Proton account, so there's no added benefit. Plus, this is true for Addy as well.
i already bookmarked the list, great work btw. I will look into the options you wrote.
Fair warning though, using a service like addy.io with randomly generated emails can go bad if they ever shutdown, you'll be left with tons of accounts on email addresses that no longer exist.
It's better than using the same email for everything, which still runs the same risk. I try to minimize the services I use that require an email for this very reason. I will note, self hosting + addy.io provides much more control with the same benefits and drawbacks.
Oh for sure, the better alternative is your own domain with either catch-all or self hosting something like addy.io, then you don't have any risk of losing those email addresses (assuming you don't let your domain expire).
