Op really cool idea. One issue and two questions:
Issue:if someone got a password list, they clean it up by removing anything between the + and the @ so it dosent add too much protection
Question1:if I get an email from someone addressed to a hashed address, could I easily figure out who I gave that email to?
Question2: will you be porting to Firefox? |

Regarding the issue I fully agree with the answer of luckylion.
Q1: Since it almost has to be used in combination with some sort of password manager, you could compare the hash with the service you signed up for. But that's a bit inconvenient. Since you receive a mail for each new signup, maybe set up a mail filter, that gathers all first mail to a hash in a dedicated folder. This way you can compare the sender with the first mail for specific hash when receiving new mails. This would have the benefit to have the data right inside your mail app of choice.
Q2: Just ported to firefox thanks to your suggestion: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/mail-hash/
