👋 Hi Product Hunters,
I’m Alex, part of the Crumbs team and this is our first Product Hunt release.
We're super excited to share Crumbs with you!
I believe Crumbs ticks all the right boxes when it comes to privacy.
🕶 It protects your privacy while you browse
🛡 It shields your email from cross-site tracking
🎯 It provides a novel solution to data control and transparency
Advertisers collect much more data on users than they need for the sake of making better ads.
We built Crumbs because we wanted to bring awareness to how users are being tracked online and put them in the driver's seat of their own information. That’s why Crumbs computes & anonymizes data locally on your device, so in the end, an advertiser is not able to pinpoint your identity the way it’s happening now.
Crumbs is available for Chrome/Firefox and on Android with the Adblock Browser.
We're looking forward to hearing your feedback or questions!
Alex & Crumbs Team
Super cool to see the different ads categories and understand how your internet activity is interpreted and segmented - but without having your privacy compromised!
Hello People of the web,
Crumbs is our take on how to make a popular privacy protection tool, that is easy to use and improve your everyday browsing experience. I hope that you would try us out and promise that you will not regret it.
Once I downloaded Crumbs my life was changed forever.. remember when you could visit a website without clicking through a myriad of GDPR and cookie consent popups? this is what Crumbs does amongst many other things.
I saved so much time from clicking pop ups that I can focus on the things that matter in life - my marriage, work, family and mental health. Thank you Crumbs you are the BEST!
Nice job! I enjoy your email protection feature, now I can easy subscribe to newsletters without worrying that my real email address will be exposed!
One question, can I send emails with the aliases generated by you?
@johnwayney First of all, thank you for taking the time to check our product.
We are just getting started with Crumbs Email Relay so we are happy to have you as a user. Our first focus, the lean approach, was to tackle this privacy angle where you would sign up for websites or pass email walls without concerns of tracking.
So for now email aliases will only be receiving & forwarding the emails to your primary address.
We are constantly developing Crumbs so sending emails through an alias is an option we have pondered but it is not in our short-term plans.
Hey @johnwayney thank you for the vote of confidence :D
If in the long term usage of the email relay you will think of any improvements, don’t hesitate to share.
We are really thrilled by Crumbs as a product and me specifically with the email relay as I use it with all my newsletters :D
I have actually been living with the Crumbs Email Relay for 5 months now and it really got into my habit of filling in forms.
