If you’re a Firefox user, you may be familiar with the Relay feature. This is a built-in feature of Firefox that allows you to easily share your web browsing history with others. The Relay feature is great for when you want to share your browsing history with someone else, but you don’t want them to have to remember your exact web browser address or password. You can also use Relay to share your browsing history with other Mozilla users, if they are using Firefox as well. If you’re not familiar with the Relay feature, it’s easy enough to understand. When you use the Relay feature, Firefox will send all of the pages that you’ve visited and any files that have been downloaded in addition thereto (such as images or videos) over the internet to another person’s computer. The other person can then open up Firefox and see all of the pages and files that were shared between you and them.

The way Firefox Relay‘s phone number masking feature will work is similar to its email masking feature. The service will give you an alternative phone number that will mask your real phone number — one that you can use and hand to people online without putting your actual phone number out there. Calls and texts will be forwarded to your actual phone number, and you can even reply to texts from the masked number if you don’t want to expose your number.
The best part is that you don’t need to download any other app on your phone, since the service will handle everything and forward things to you — just set it up online, pay the $4/month fee, give Mozilla your phone number, choose a masked number, and it’ll handle the rest. It’s a solution you can set up once and forget about it. And if you want to, you can also check a dashboard online.
If you want to give it a spin, head over to the Firefox Relay website to get yourself started.
