Hide My Email is a premium privacy service of iCloud. Safari offers a native integration with Hide My Email, whereby users are prompted to generate a Hide My Email address upon registration to any website. This extension aims to bring a similar UX into a wider variety of browsers. In particular, it has been explicitly tested to work on:

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Brave
• Microsoft Edge

Note that the extension should work on any browser that implements the extension API supported by Chromium-based browsers.

Disclaimer: This extension is not endorsed by, directly affiliated with, maintained, authorized, or sponsored by Apple.

• Simple pop-up UI for generating and reserving new Hide My Email addresses
• Ability to manage existing Hide My Email addresses (including deactivation, reactivation, and deletion)
• Autofilling on any HTML input element that is relevant to email
• Quick configuration of Hide My Email settings, such as the Forward-To address, through the Options page of the extension

The extension can be configured to

1. show an autofill button on input field focus
2. show a context menu item when right-clicking on input fields

You can enable/disable any of the autofilling mechanisms through the Options page of the extension.

This extension is entirely written in TypeScript. The UI pages of the extension (e.g. Pop-Up and Options) are implemented as React apps and styled with TailwindCSS.

Development was carried out in an environment that matches the following Docker image:

FROM node:25.1.0-alpine3.22

RUN apk add --update --no-cache g++ make python3

ADD . /opt/extension

WORKDIR /opt/extension

ENTRYPOINT ["sh"]

The table below outlines the sequence of steps that need to be followed in order to ship a change in the extension. The execution of some of these steps varies per browser engine.
