Gmail plus addressing is like the most widely known thing ever and also like the first thing checked by every scammer and hacker. It's so useless I've been using it for practically ever and spam related to brand new data breaches still has it stripped out. There have only ever been like two occasions where a spam email in my inbox didn't strip out the plus address.

Use something like Firefox Relay where it's impossible to strip out anything.

I mean aliases provided by some service providers. Never been of fan of the + style pretend aliasing. Takes very little sophistication to extract the real email. A real forwarding alias does not expose the true email.
