Email inboxes can be wild, unruly places. Spam filters can help cut down on noise to an extent, but inevitably we all end up sorting through countless messages from people we’ve never heard of, for things we have no interest in.

Throttle is a neat browser extension gives you complete control over who gets access to your inbox. Part of how it does this is by generating a unique email address every time you fill out a form, so your email stops spreading among the vast webs of advertiser lists online. And just click a button and you’ll automatically opt out from every subscriber email list and invasive data mines. Other inbox-managing features include condensing all mass mailings and notifications into a single daily digest email. Additionally, you can see who tries to sell or share your email address with the Scam Shield feature. And for extra convenience, Throttle syncs to all of your devices.
