I cannot access my Deezer account without them tracking me, it seems. I tried to open it with my Relay account and the password I used was that of my personal Gmail account. It didn't work and I tried 3 or 4 times in a row. The FAQs don't say anything at all about the password I need to use (or create) to avoid the trackers. How does that work?

I didn't know until recently that Facebook (and who knows what other social media as well) tracks any activity I make online in sites where their icon is attached. I'm no technician or anything remotely close to that, but I do appreciate all the advantages of using Firefox and some of the ad-ons. I use Ublock and Dark Reader, apart from some of the ad-ons produced by Firefox developers such as Facebook Container.
However, I can't see the use of Firefox relay if I cannot access sites with it. Could you please help me understand this a bit more? I'm sure others could profit from the explanation too.

I know SNS and the such track us all the time and that Firefox protects us more than Chrome for sure, but most of us don't really understand how trackers work so as to avoid those sites, e.g.

In any case, thank you for reading this and for taking the time to respond!

Blessings from Argentina.

If you create an account with a Relay alias, you can use whatever password you want - passwords are not used to track you.

If you use your real email address on a site, they can include it in a Facebook "Customer List" to track and target you via Facebook. By using an email alias, you break that link Facebook has to you.

Firefox Relay is a really useful tool for protecting your email and privacy. It lets you create email aliases that forward to your real inbox, so you can sign up for websites without sharing your personal address. It helps reduce spam and keeps your real email safer from hackers. Simple to use, works automatically, and makes managing online accounts much more secure.

Сделайте чтобы на пк когда было 5 псевдонимов было полностью видно 5 а не кусок который закрывает предупреждение о использованых псевдонимах.

I've been using Mozilla and DuckDuckGo privacy services for years, and subscribing when that is available. Mozilla and DDG are both doing a great job protecting our privacy and our inboxes. A fan of both, I have to say that Mozilla have nailed this one - it is so simple, so transparent and so well-integrated into online workflows. I've seen the complaints of others - domain denied, no amazon login, ... - and can report that at least today these are no longer issues. Great job, Mozilla!!

Now I have Relay, I can no longer log in to Amazon and pay for my purchases. This is completely unacceptable, so I will have to switch Relay off. Total waste of time.

I so favor how you mask users' email addresses, but when will you let us remove the command icon beside filling in any email address? The tab key is much easier when your command icon is not aligned with it. Please provide the option for a better rating.

It's something good to be able to block your e-mail address, but some websites give an error message that says "this domain is not allowed". But also others can use it for spam and block their e-mail address as well.

My mail uses my surname so I don't wanna use it when logging on some stuff that I don't know if I can trust, that's why I'm grateful mozilla for making this addon. It may not work on every site because sites like blocking mails other than Gmail, Outlook etc. but there's nothing we can do about that.
