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.

Should I cancel Mozilla VPN to switch?
No. SecureAlias is just the alias product. Keep Mozilla VPN if you use it — they're independent.
