I'm just a simple man who likes things that work out of the box. I've been using this Maskme free Firefox extension for awhile. Also, it is available for Chrome. Wrote out this little review as I searched on here and didn't see it mentioned. After I wrote this piece, I pulled it up in the Chrome Web store and posted their details farther down. Guess, I will still bore you with my thoughts. Feel free to skip down to the italics for the nitty gritty if you are in a hurry.
Ever wish you could generate a free disposable email addresses on the fly that would funnel into one or your real emails? You can have emails generated for forms, offers etc. and then when you start getting spammed to death, you can just delete those related emails from your free online account.
This is what a Firefox extension called Maskme does. Just download and install it then set up forwarding to your favorite real email and when you get to a form, right click and it generates an email.
I was using it that way but it became a pain to keep track of them so I set up and enabled a free online account. There you can keep track of your emails and also your login credentials (if enabled) to selected sites. BTW...the login filler works okay on some sites but certain web forms like godaddy for example, it doesn't. I Like the fact that you just right click a form and up pops a computer generated email like this...

They seem to be accepted most places. Haven't tried aweber yet. It helps to set up an online account for free and you have a listing of the emails and sites. Same for saved passwords. You can even export them to a CSV file. Sometimes it generates emails so fast you get a couple for one site...just have to delete them. Also, they will store inbound emails for like 4 hours and them they are purged t are immediately forwarded to your designated email. You do have to manually force a sync to your online account to keep it up to date but it's easy as you just click the top bar maskme icon and you are in your account and click sync at he top.
Also, for free as alluded to earlier, they have a password form filler and a "don't track me" freebie.
Anyway, here is their website if you want to give it a shot. They also have paid masked phone numbers and masked credit cards. The first link it to their website.The second link is my Firefox referral if you feel like using it. I may get some free use of the phone number and credit card maskers and will therefore test them out and report back. No worries though. Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back...on right, it's free anyway...lol. The Chrome Extension page has this info and a short video. It is rated 4.57/5 at the Chrome Web Store.
