Firefox Relay Alternative for Any Browser
Firefox Relay is a good choice for Firefox users and now offers 50 free masks. Emcognito is the Firefox Relay alternative when you want unlimited aliases, browser-neutral signup, count-metered forwarding, and per-alias controls without depending on Firefox.
Verified - we re-check quarterly.
