Show HN: Mailinator Generator – A Simple Chrome Extension for Temporary Emails

3 points| mattheld | 1 year ago |chromewebstore.google.com

Hey HN!

I just released Mailinator Generator, a lightweight Chrome extension that makes it easy to generate and use temporary Mailinator email addresses. It's designed to protect your primary inbox from spam when signing up for websites, coupon codes, newsletters, or free trials.

Features: - Right-click to instantly generate a random Mailinator email and automatically fill it into forms.

- Keeps track of where the emails were used (URLs), so you can easily revisit those sites.

- One-click access to Mailinator inboxes for each email.

- No data collection or third-party tracking—everything runs locally in your browser.

- If you're like me and use throwaway email addresses to avoid spam, this extension could save you time!

Also on GitHub: https://github.com/MazeWebArchitect/mailinator-generator-chr...

Happy to hear your feedback and suggestions!

Looks good! A (plaintext, JSON, whatever) export functionality would be nice.
