Firefox Relay alternative

SecureAlias vs Firefox Relay

Mozilla's alias service — bundled with Firefox accounts and Mozilla VPN.

Why we built SecureAlias when Firefox Relay exists

Firefox Relay is the easiest way to dip your toe in if you already have a Firefox account. We built SecureAlias for the next step — when you realize you actually want unlimited aliases, attachment scanning, and a service whose roadmap isn't chasing browser-share decisions.

Firefox Relay is good at

  • Built into Firefox — minimal setup.
  • Mozilla brand trust.
  • Works with the Mozilla VPN bundle.

Where it falls short

  • Free tier is 5 aliases. Premium is $0.99/mo for unlimited.
  • No virus scanning.
  • No tracker stripping.
  • Very limited management: no descriptions, weak filtering.

FAQs

Should I cancel Mozilla VPN to switch?

No. SecureAlias is just the alias product. Keep Mozilla VPN if you use it — they're independent.
