It's rare though.
I have been using alias services like Anonaddy and SimpleLogin for nearly two years. I have seen only on website block SimpleLogin, and it was a Pixelfed instance. I simply signed up on another Pixelfed instance as these are federated.
These alias companies also have multiple domains, so in a way these blocks can be worked around.

#7You can only hope that the service will last long enough and not be discontinued like Firefox Send. Otherwise you have created online accounts with dead alias emails. I create the alias mail addresses in my postfix installation under /etc/aliases

#8This is cool, however, personally I feel like for my use case that integration with 1Password and Fastmail is better because I don't want to depend on a browser that I cannot use everywhere to manage this.
In the same way that I avoid Sign in with Apple - what am I supposed to do when I need to Sign in without Apple?!
I find 1P+FM is a much more cross-platform solution.
However, I commend Firefox for creating this functionality for people that don't use a separate password manager or Fastmail!

#9I just signed up and sent myself a test email. It took a couple of minutes but it came through with banners above and below the content.
Pretty nice service however again I am afraid that one day the plug will be pulled and the email addresses will be orphaned.
