To work around our list while having a decent level of privacy just do not use a complete burner address. You can e.g. make a pseudonym address with an actual provider like gmail, fastmail, protonmail etc. Heck we even have an allowlist with some "shady" providers that balance on the edge included in the repo, just browse: https://github.com/disposable-email-domains/disposable-email...
In retrospect my comment was probably too harsh. Thanks for providing an escape hatch, but it's practically impossible to create an anonymous gmail account.
Sometimes it's hard. We try to keep our little list useful but it can never be a full solution -- I hope it cannot ever be and people value their privacy enough to not give up the freedoms of internet and TCP/IP.
As of gmail -- one of the guidelines for the list addition is whether you need to go through some sort of a registration. If you do then it is usually not treated as disposable by us.
There are 2 members in the disposable-email-domains organization on GitHub.[1]
You (martenson) are one of them. The other member (di), who is a "core maintainer" of the project according to the README changelog,[2] is also a member of the Google organization on GitHub.[3] di describes himself as part of the "@google open source security team"[3] and the website linked from his profile says that he is "a Developer Advocate at Google".[4]
Thanks for summing it up. All of this is correct afaik. What I wanted to respond to was the implication that Google is somehow part of this. It is not. This project started before Dustin joined Google open source and was already couple of years old when Dustin himself joined.
