When users encounter sign-up forms on unfamiliar websites, Brave automatically generates a unique, forwarded email alias with a single click. Inbound messages are scrubbed of tracking pixels before being delivered to the user's primary inbox.
The feature neutralizes web tracking techniques that rely on hashed email addresses to match user identities across disparate advertising networks, furthering Brave's mission of privacy preservation.
