Throttle Keeps Your Inbox a Mess by Making Your Email Private
Chrome / Safari / Opera: There are a number of solutions for dealing with inbox, crowded spam, newsletters, marketing emails, etc. For example, you can filter your mail or subscribe to a service like Unroll.me to help you unsubscribe. However, Throttle is a free mailbox management tool that solves the problem at the source.
It is a browser extension that generates unique email addresses when you register online. And this simple setup gives you a lot more control over your email. Here’s how they put it in the press release:
It works with a browser extension that automatically adds a button to all fields of an email form on the Internet. For example, when making a purchase, you click a button instead of entering your real email address. The extension populates the field with a unique, random email address. All emails that Throttle receives for you are collected and sent to you in a single daily email digest.
From the Throttle dashboard, you can track all the sites you subscribe to, see which ones are selling your address, and select a daily digest of all your subscriptions. It is similar to Unroll.me in many ways ; the difference is that instead of just ordering the subscriptions, you have more control over them because each one has a unique address. When you “unsubscribe,” you immediately revoke access because Throttle simply disables that unique email address.
It is currently available for Safari, Chrome and Opera, with a Firefox extension coming soon. Try it yourself by following the link below.
