This extension makes it quick and easy to view, search, manage and create new aliases.

Please Note: The free plan is currently limited to a total of 10 active shared domain aliases (e.g. *@anonaddy.me) and 10MB monthly bandwidth. You can still create unlimited standard aliases for free by giving out [email protected] as your email address, the browser extension is not required to create these type of aliases.

To use this extension you first need to register an account with addy.io (it's free), then you can generate an API token on the settings page.

If you are self-hosting addy.io then make sure to click "change instance" and enter the location of your web app.

Paste your API token in the extension to save it. Now you can simply open the extension and create a new alias for any site.
