by Firefox user 16949312, 5 years agoI cannot access my Deezer account without them tracking me, it seems. I tried to open it with my Relay account and the password I used was that of my personal Gmail account. It didn't work and I tried 3 or 4 times in a row. The FAQs don't say anything at all about the password I need to use (or create) to avoid the trackers. How does that work?
I didn't know until recently that Facebook (and who knows what other social media as well) tracks any activity I make online in sites where their icon is attached. I'm no technician or anything remotely close to that, but I do appreciate all the advantages of using Firefox and some of the ad-ons. I use Ublock and Dark Reader, apart from some of the ad-ons produced by Firefox developers such as Facebook Container.
However, I can't see the use of Firefox relay if I cannot access sites with it. Could you please help me understand this a bit more? I'm sure others could profit from the explanation too.
I know SNS and the such track us all the time and that Firefox protects us more than Chrome for sure, but most of us don't really understand how trackers work so as to avoid those sites, e.g.
In any case, thank you for reading this and for taking the time to respond!

posted 5 years agoIf you create an account with a Relay alias, you can use whatever password you want - passwords are not used to track you.
If you use your real email address on a site, they can include it in a Facebook "Customer List" to track and target you via Facebook. By using an email alias, you break that link Facebook has to you.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Rochken, 11 days agoA good extension in theory, ive tried to like it and use it instead of the Duckduck Go version and and i just cant, purely because it just doesnt remove any trackers from the emails at all, literally none, i even tested this against DDG by signing up for a mail list once with DDG and once with Relay, DDG removed several trackers and Relay removed none, therefore it is essentially useless.

Either mozilla care about privacy or doesn't, but it has to make a clear choice.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dagny Taggart, a month agoVery cool and easy to use extension!
I’d really appreciate it if the Relay extension could require fewer permissions to install. Ideally, it would work with minimal permissions and offer optional extra permissions for an improved UI. Right now I’m not comfortable granting “access to all website data.”Developer response
posted a month agoThanks for your request! It’s helpful to hear that you’d like to have fewer permissions when installing the extension, with optional additional permissions to improve the UI. We’ve made sure to mark this as feedback for our product teams. Thanks so much for the suggestion! - Rated 5 out of 5by Henry, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by thedoctor, 2 months agoIt's a great addon. If you can add dark mode to the ui that would be great and also the phone mask feature can't be used in Türkiye, it would be really great if you can make accessible for us to buy premium access and use all the premium perks.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19471504, 2 months agoSign in pages for many websites don't work. A popup says this section cant be empty. In essence, you cant log into these pages. When i disabled the extension, the problem was resolved.
