The points you listed are very valid. I think they are solved by some email alias providers, at least ours (obviously 😅)

  1. You can customize the alias. For example all our company emails (hr@simplelogin.io, marketing@, recruitment@, etc) are actually all aliases 🤫.

2 - 3. Fair point, I never thought about this before ... In this case maybe you could generate an alias without the website name in it. Can't speak for other alias service but when you create an alias via SimpleLogin extension, the alias is linked to the current website so you don't need to put the website name into the alias to remember it.

  1. True. Some websites blacklist temporary emails (which I would do as well in their shoes) whereas aliases are actually permanent emails. In addition, if you use your own domain, then there's an almost 0% chance that a website would blacklist your domain.
