Don't you have other things to do, like appreciating their stupid services somewhere else? When I say somewhere else, I mean just comment in the page but not below my comment...

Instead of complaining on random sites about new features you could simply give feedback to google directly and they'll eventually improve things. Or nobody cares for the features you want 🤷♂️

They need to fix other problems on their other apps and services first. Then they can invent new useless things..

> We presume that just like most existing temporary email services out there, Google will only allow incoming email into the temporary email and not outgoing mail since that would open the door to more nefarious and annoying use cases for the service.
iCloud Private Relay email addresses allows both incoming and outgoing mail.
The reason why outgoing mail is allowed is because some websites requires you to respond to their email to confirm account deletion or whatever.
