Inboxes is releasing a new experimental feature called Email Form Helper. This feature places a small Inboxes icon in all email inputs allowing you to quickly input a disposable email into any website.

This feature can be enabled by going into your settings and clicking on the Swicth on Form Helper (Experimental) button.

Important: As the permissions popup exist the application, you will need to re-open it once before the changes are made available.

From a security perspective, this feature is not included as default in the Inboxes App Chrome extension as it requires access to all your tabs. Instead, when you click to enable, Chrome will ask if you wish to grant the extension additional permissions. These permissions allow the extension to load in the helper on all email forms, and fetch your latest email once the button is clicked.

Inboxes’s aim is to help improve your online safety by allowing you to shield your personal email from websites. Allowing users to easily enter a disposable email with one click is a step towards that goal.

Version 0.0.3 brings many changes under the hood, as well as more visible changes to users. Below you can find a brief summary of the changes which are now available to Inboxes.app users:

Version 0.0.2 has just been published to the Chrome Extension Store for review and I’m hoping it will be approved and in the hands of Inboxes users in a short while. While there’s no new features in this release, a fair amount has changed under the hood. This post aims to run you through what’s chaged.
