    There are plenty of these services out there, the one I use most often is grr.la, but it is nice having it built into a mobile os, though you do have to pay extra for this feature as it's only part of iCloud+.

    What I like about grr.la is that it's free, there's no sign-up required you just go to that site, copy the email address displayed and you're off to the races.

    I don't put in a www usually, just http://grr.la which then just redirects you to https://www.guerrillamail.com

    FF seems to force the www. part. :(

    But a google search for "grr.la" provided links to the full domain name, which worked.

    No sure how I would want to utilize this service given that mails are deleted after 24 hours. It means that if I was expecting a reply, I would have to keep checking frequently until they arrive. I'd be a slave to the service! :/

    I use it for things I'm going to sign up for, but never use again.

    e.g.: "Enter your email address for a 10% off coupon" or those places where you want to leave a comment on something but they force you to create an account first.

    I also used it once for an email list I got on somehow but the unsubscribe link wouldn't work. There was another link to update your email address that did work, so I just changed it to a random grr.la address.

    Hmmm.. I can't remember the last time I would need that. I
    might be the exception who does not capitulate to marketing
    tricks.

    the unsubscribe link wouldn't work. There was another

    I like that! If it's such a stupid system that does not allow unsubscribing.. give them another email address that you can
    ignore most of the time.

    I just tested it with an email to myself. It seems to be taking
    a long time to reach me. 10 minutes later, still nothing.

    I don't think this system/service is practical if I would need
    to wait for a "reset password" link or something - I'd get
    tired waiting.
