Proton Pass has a similar feature, I love it. But Spotify had banned my account and asked me to email them from the alias to unlock it, which is not possible. So you should be careful with that. A lot of companies employ anti-privacy practices.

Were you using simplelogin.io, which is part of Proton? It is actually possible to reply or send mails from the aliases you create there. The feature is called reverse-alias.
Really? That wasn't obvious for me. I'll check it, thanks.
SimpleLogin does allow you to send emails from your alias, though
If you’re talking about a SimpleLogin, you CAN email from it. I forget the exact terminology (I can check if you need) but you can generate a forward address that you email and the receiver (Spotify) will see it as If you have emailed from your forwarding address.
Can’t you make a reverse alias through the SimpleLogin ui? Since that’s what proton pass uses for the aliases.

Anyone signed up for one of Relay's paid subscription options will also be able to reply to emails anonymously . . . A free account will allow for up to five email masks and remove trackers for you, with additional protections available for paid subscription tiers.
DuckDuckGo has the best free solution ATM IMHO, if you don't mind the RNGd names: "unlimited" aliases, reply-ability, and trackers removed.
Random email addresses are a better idea anyway; as soon as you personalise them, that makes them traceable to you again.
Great News But Why Caps

I mean I won't use it because I don't trust Mozilla with full access to all my websites, but I like that they have some monetization build in so that they can diversify the income and not only get money from Google.
But I still think that Thunderbird is doing it better by asking for donations.
Firefox Relay is not free, hence why it has premium feature. Anonymous email replies and blocking promotional emails? tough shit, pay to block.
It has both a free and a Premium plan. The free plan gives you five email masks; Premium (€1 a month) gives you unlimited masks, and indeed email replies and the ability to block promotional emails.
