While we provide a Firefox extension with which generating an alias is just a click away, you're not dependent on Firefox specifically: you can generate and access your generated alias through the web interface at https://relay.firefox.com in any browser.

A little bit unrelated question, but since we're talking about being available anywhere. Is there a reason the extension is not available for Firefox on Android? I'm thinking about using Relay but I'm afraid it won't be easy to add aliases from mobile.

No technical one I think; probably mostly a matter of resources (same reason it's not on other browsers yet).

That said, the extension is mostly useful for generating new aliases. If you've already used it on desktop to generate an alias for a website, then regular cross-browser sync of form autofill data should make it easy to reuse the same alias on mobile.
