And on March 10, 2022, new functions such as 'Increased transferable capacity', 'Providing extended functions for Google Chrome', and 'Mail magazine filter function' were added to this Firefox Relay. The details of each function are as follows.

◆ Increase in transferable capacity
Firefox Relay has supported attachments up to 150KB since its release. However, there was an opinion from the user that '150KB is not enough when receiving a train or concert ticket'. For this reason, Mozilla has increased the file size transferable by Firefox Relay to a maximum of 10MB.



◆ Providing extensions for Google Chrome
Previously, Firefox Relay had an extension that 'right-click the email address input field to create a new email address in one shot', but this extension was only compatible with Firefox. A new official extension has been provided for Google Chrome, and the same functionality as Firefox is now available for Google Chrome.

The official Firefox Relay extension for Google Chrome can be downloaded from the link below.
