Brave’s browser one-ups Chrome with its new support for email aliases

Chrome alternative Brave just added a good reason to make the switch to its browser: email aliases. The feature, announced this week, allows Brave’s users to sign up for websites and other online services without having to share their personal email addresses.

To use the feature, you first need to create an account with Brave, where you can provide your real email address. Then, once logged into the browser, you’ll see a pop-up appear when clicking an email field on a website, offering the option to use an alias instead. (If the pop-up doesn’t appear, just right-click on the field to access the option.) The email alias will be filled in on the website’s form, and any emails coming to that address will be forwarded to your primary email account.
