    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+T reopens the tab you just accidentally closed.

        That’s how I started as well, I’m at 418 aliases now. 99.9% of my online account use an alias with my custom domain.
