I used duck.com when I have to register an email address. DuckDuckgo.com is a great browser and search engine.

With my Mac mail and iCloud, there is a "hide-my-email" option for when a site asks for your email - and to help you keep track of it, you get an email from Apple Support telling you what is being used - here is a sample of the email with example addresses:

Dear "Your Name Here",
