I’ve done that and didn’t have to sign up Wait until you hear this: Sites that straight up refuse to load when in incognito mode. They force you to use the regular mode so they can track you with cookies. I should start making a list of websites that abuse surfers like this. Name and shame them.

Yeah the cookie avoidance disables some sites until you turn it off and reload the page 😐 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1403625-the-web-is-becoming-an-annoying-garbagefest/page/3/#findComment-598627308 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing infuriates me like having 5/8/77 cranked loud and one of these damn autoplays come up...usually a few decibels above my music. Mostly happens on news sites (CNN, ABC, Fox, etc.) ... like I can't read the damn article I clicked on. It must also have the video segment. /sigh Oftimes there is a video segment on somthing totally unrelated to the article.

Last 30 days (and for some reason, its not showing my machine (which is another TB). I switched from Comcast to WOW for various reasons the cap being one of them. I was going over every month with Comcast due to my syncing a work backup to my Home NAS.

Steven P. Administrators Posted February 18, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted February 18, 2021 Email unsubscribe lists that when you go to unsubscribe, the web page forces you to send an "email with a link" to manage preferences, and then when you get the unique link in the email (now I have 2 unwanted emails) you are forced to spell out your own email address to unsubscribe, it isn't helpfully filled in correctly.. Oh so now it is secret and "secure" huh? When I am the one wanting to unsubscribe from a unique link sent to me, using the same email address??
