The Gmail trick
Some websites restrict the number of articles you can read on a “free” account. To read more, you need to sign in with a new email which means setting up a new Gmail account and that’s a pain in the butt.
Here’s how to get around the problem and only ever use 1 Gmail account.
Gmail allows you to enter your original email name followed by a + and then whatever you want after the plus. This “new” email gets routed back to the original email.
example: Gmail processes Kevin+001@gmail.com and Kevin+776262eewuu@gmail.com as if they were the master account kevin@gmail.com. One master account, infinite possible permutations.
This trick allows me to sign up with a “new” free account on a website without having to create an actual new account in Gmail.
Take THAT Epoch Times paywall!!!

If it doesn't stop you from getting spammed from every site that requires it then maybe worth it, else just still more junk going to your master account...

OR, you could just use Firefox in Incognito Mode (re: private browsing). Works on most sites.

I believe that Google is evil. But I do maintain a gmail account for those websites that require an email signup just to enter (like this one) and also for some other uses where gmail has tools that other email clients don't.

I read the News on the Internet, while on meal break at work. I get those notices all the time on various "News," sources. I now just skip right over them and go to other sites. Screw Em'. Success, (in their eyes) is #of Viewer's.
Guess what? You have one less now. 🤔
Works for me. 👍😁

not true if you were using their browser a couple of years back. That’s the browser, not the search engine. But still….

Never used the browser, Firefox for that.

Microsoft, Apple, and Google are all extremely invasive. While it is fairly easy to divest yourself of anything Microsoft or Apple, Google is a lot harder. However, using a Linux operating system and a privacy browser like Brave will keep you mostly out of the clutches of those wanting to see everything you do online.
