I'd love to see a simple browser addon that takes care of generating an email for new sites, because there are several similar services out there and I think on all of them you have to manually go generate an email.

Kind of a silly preference maybe because it's still easy to do manually, but it would make the paid service more attractive I think.

Blur by Abine. Also masks your phone numbers, your credit cards and is a password manager on top of that.

I used abine and then created my own, because I wanted it simple, and their offering got a bit bloated with those other services.

Yes, they do employ a quite holistic view on online privacy; requiring you to put a lot of trust in them. I did not intend to diminish the value of your service.
