    Make a junk email for junk signups and accounts, if you can. Don’t accept the cookies. If the product you’re using is free, the information you enter is what’s being sold to someone else.

    Ctrl+Shift+Tab reopens the tab you just accidentally closed.

      If the product you’re using is free, the information you enter is what’s being sold to someone else.

      Even paid services can and usually will sell your information, so just assume that everything that you enter is considered public information from that moment on
