It’s an ok way to do it. And I’ve been subscribed (but not using it) for 2 years.

But until Firefox Relay supports custom domains, I am of the opinion that it’s not ideal.

As someone who also runs their own custom email domains, I agree it would be nice if I could manage those through Relay. That said, I'd still be giving out Relay addresses way more often, since those email addresses can't be linked to each other, or to me.

My personal domain is for things that are really important in the long term, but for things like concert tickets, I prefer having the added anonymity.

Sure. But I just have multiple domains for things like that. And you could always have the option to use a Firefox Relay domain as well.

Thats how it is with Simplelogin (which is a similar service).

Oh yes, I am not at all saying I don't think Relay should have that option. It's more that I like sharing a domain with many others, so I can blend in with the crowd.

With providers like Addy and SimpleLogin it is possible to use your own domain.

+1 for Addy, been using it for ~2 years now with my personal domain and its been great.

I want with Addy over others because plans are per badwidth used instead of per alias, so one-time email verifications for some signup doesn't count towards a total limit.

Ive been using Simplelogin for a few years, and its totally fine.

Id just like it if Firefox Relay had these features.

addy is great - we've worked with them a bit on our alias backend
