Brave launches Email Aliases to hide personal addresses
Starting with desktop version 1.94, Brave is offering Email Aliases, letting users sign up for online services without revealing their personal email address. Users right-click any email field and select "New Email Alias" to generate an address that forwards to their primary inbox, reducing spam and breaking cross-site email-based tracking.
- Currently desktop-only.
- The feature has drawn press attention, including Digital Trends highlighting how it limits tracking while still delivering messages to a primary inbox.
