I tried both a couple of years ago and bought a Simple Login lifetime deal before their Proton merger. UI was better for me. I love the service, wish this had always existed.
Tell me, please, is it possible to add your name to AnonAddy when creating an alias? Example: < your name >.sa1haj81p@anonaddy.tld.
I think there is at least one way to accomplish that with Anonaddy and Simplelogin but I’m not positive. Both are free to try, I suggest you give it a try.
For those of you who use e-mail aliases, which accounts do you use them for in general, all your accounts or specific ones?
Yes. I couldn’t register with an alias from AnonAddy on Discord, Mastodon and Proton VPN.
i use them for almost everything. most of my 'important" personal accounts don’t have aliases, though.
For those of you who use e-mail aliases, which accounts do you use them for in general, all your accounts or specific ones?
Virtually all of my accounts–the only exceptions are a few important accounts and things where I expect to need to verbally give out the email address to actual people.
Once you get used to using an e-mail aliasing service I think you will find that there are few to no good reasons not to. It doesn’t really make anything more difficult or complex once you’ve adjusted to it (just like with a password manager where initially the idea of using unique passwords for every website sounded untenable but once you adapted you realized it is a non-issue).

Yes, I’ve already changed the e-mail address of all my accounts, you have to think of it as a password manager in fact, it’s not complicated, with the exception of accounts linked to banking, insurance, tax and so on.
I have used SimpleLogin for the last couple of years and when proton bought it I wanted to move to another service. I tested AnonAddy and Firefox Relay but… I went back to SimpleLogin. It has LOTs and LOTs more features than AA and FR… So yes, SL is the only proton service I still pay… I have 3 of their subdomains and my own… I also can use PGP…
Worth every penny, I only hope Proton Administration doesn’t screw a great service… In Example, before Proton, they were going to implement labels, folders and so on… Proton bought it and now these features has been “in process” for a year.
