Posted November 1, 2018 This isn't going to affect the 99% of the consumers out there because they don't disable scripts. It only affect those that does. Disabling script, makes a web load much faster and makes it feel more responsive, but it breaks everything. Like trying to log into a website or doing a online purchase.

So I've basically had to abandon these emails, since I made these forever ago with the intention of as much anonymity as possible. This lead to the awkward situation on one site where I had to verify an email change using by verifying through my existing email, and I basically had to message the site admins (who actually helped me) All of my regular emails were hit with this to, but I was willing to tie a cell number. It's damn near impossible these days to find an email service that you dont have to tie info to in order to sign up for a site. Keep in mind that stuff like Yandex is blocked commonly, and Yandex just instantly shadowbans accounts it detects a VPN on, and for some reason exact 50% of accounts on one IP (say a college campus) as soon as they're created. Noscript is another part of this, it's used with the tor browser bundle and the same idea is recommended for staying anonymous in general During the recent 'security checkup' wave Google did, I got locked out of two of my accounts for weeks, and had to abandon using a dedicated mail client. I've now got Chrome installed, and use it solely for checking my gmail accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean this basically applies to any online service/account. Magical Pineapples
