Just as you would never use the same password on two different websites you could start NOT using the same email-address on two different websites as well. That would not only defeat snoopers from linking accounts, give the user increased privacy, lessen the spam, but also give increased security! We often use the same email address to register everywhere, that email address is often our single point of failure. By using different email addresses every time you register somewhere it would lessen the chance that a attacker will be able to access anything else, even if the user happened to use the same password everywhere.
Thinking about it, i don't think they should be disposable. What if user A use abc@tdn.protonmail.com to register on example.com, then user B comes along and register the same disposable address. User B will then possibly receive private information from example.com that was meant for user A (and C, D, E, F, G....), he may even reset the password and will be able to do everything that User A would for his account on example.com. That can very potentially be a huge privacy nightmare.
