Subify is a web extension for Google Chrome1 that enables users to create unique subaddresses for each website they visit (done by using the adler-322 checksum of the host of the active tab).
This empowers users to more effectively manage their inbox and protect their privacy. Useful when providing an email address to a website that may be suspicious or known for sending unwanted mail. Using subaddresses in this way makes it easy to determine the source of emails and create filters to block specific emails without unsubscribing (which often relies on 3rd-party services that likely provide a non-intuitive interface).
