Software Engineer:

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.

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

Looking at you, Adobe

I just started using Proton mail's aliases for that and love it. If I see a bunch of spam coming to one particular alias, I'll just delete it and make a new one. So far, it's been great

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.

Adding onto this, either have a temp mail addon, or have one such site bookmarked on your browser.

Isnt the reopen tab CTRL SHIFT T?

My god, I hadn't even noticed that autocorrected to "Tab". Fixed it, thanks for the call out.
