I put my whole life into a single database
If you own the server, it might be easier to set up a little smtp client. Or to be more security conscious, a incoming only smtp client like https://github.com/0xERR0R/mailcatcher/ and collapse that dataflow. But pubsub has a monstrous free tier anyway and I also wanted to keep a copy of the emails on gmail which is easier to search

An Ode to Apples Hide My Email
There are lots of ways to do this. Postfix is nice but a little heavy. The simplest and most functional way I've found is https://github.com/0xERR0R/mailcatcher since all it does is forward the emails. You can even use a throwaway gmail SMTP so it doesn't get send to spam
Easy to set up on a rpi/cheap VPS, as long as you have a hostname. And while you're there, look for a short domain name so it's fast to type (on credit card kiosks). You can get cheap short non-standard TLD's like .li. I got a 3 character domain for $5 a year, as short as bit.ly, but just for me

is here a simple forwarding email service?
I use selhosted https://github.com/0xERR0R/mailcatcher with ddns domain on my raspberry pi

Fresh rss but for emails?

Mozilla names new CEO as it pivots to data privacy
That isn't alarmist, but almost all privacy features in Brave are already in Firefox as well. Looking at this page:
- Chromium customizations: Not necessary in Firefox
- Client-side encryption for Brave Sync: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-firefox-sync-keeps-...
- DeAMPing: I think AMP has been dead for a few years now
- Limiting network server calls: I think this is a bit tangential to privacy, limiting calls is generally good but it doesn't mean you're transmitting less information. Brave's post comparing different browsers' first startup network calls is from 2019, not sure how Firefox performs today.
- Query parameter filtering: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/a...
- Better partitioning for better privacy: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Privacy/State_P...
- Referrer policy improvements: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/03/22/firefox-87-trim...
- Fine grained / temporary permissions API: This is nice, I don't think Firefox has this.
- Social media blocking: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-prote...
- Bounce tracking protections: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2020/08/04/firefox-79-incl...
- Limiting the life of Javascript: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-rolls-o.... Not explicitly mentioned but I believe Firefox does have this 7 day limit as well, in addition to other protections.
- Private windows with Tor: Firefox doesn't have built-in Tor integration, but the actual Tor Browser is built from Firefox.
I think Firefox also has one or two features that Brave does not, like Multi-Account Containers, and some paid services like https://relay.firefox.com/.

Mozilla Monitor Plus: automatically remove your personal info from data brokers
> In a sense, it sounds like the advice of the services is less subscribing to them than trying not to have a few e-mails that map to your personal identity.
Firefox Relay is a great way to do that :) https://relay.firefox.com
Integrating that with Monitor is pretty high on at least my personal wish list.

Ask HN: How can we help Firefox not to dissapear?
> In what ways has mozilla meaningfully dared to try and expand their revenue streams?
I think that Mozilla VPN is pretty nice. It's based on Mullvad VPN, so they seem to know their audience (given that Mullvad has a pretty okay reputation among many tech savvy or privacy conscious folks, a lot of which probably use something like Firefox as well): https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/vpn/
I guess there's also Firefox Relay, for those who might benefit from something like that: https://relay.firefox.com/
Not many other products to give them money for come to mind, though.

Ask HN: Streaming Player Replacement for Roku?
I've been dragging around a similar concern. My solution might be to use Mozilla's Relay for the email and Privacy.com for the credit card.
https://relay.firefox.com/
https://privacy.com/
That won't stop the data collection but it should mitigate how useful it is. Maybe?
