Kevin Renskers ☛ Loopwerk: The search for a cross-browser private email address service
Yesterday I reviewed a bunch of web browsers, and I mentioned that the ability to create private email addresses is important to me. It’s a great way to combat spam; no matter how much you trust a website not to spam you, eventually they’ll be [breached], your email address will be public, and you’ll receive spam and phishing emails. Better to create a private email address that forwards to your real email address, a unique one for every website. Then you can simply deactivate that forwarding address when it gets leaked, or you no longer need it.

Version 16.0 of the Tor Browser has been released. This is the first stable version based on Firefox ESR 153. Notable changes in this release include support for GNU/Linux on 64-bit Arm, redesigned settings, and a "generic window titles" feature to help prevent other applications from snooping on one's browser activity. Tor Browser for Android has had a number of interface updates to Google's Material Design 3 design language.
