@samgai Ha, that's perfect.

Is there any way to block these types of elements in one's browser, and prevent them from popping up in the first place? They're really a nuisance on a lot of sites.

@samgai the article for some reason only mentions Mozilla and Apple as Pseudonomous Email Providers - lacking, for example, is #simplelogin.

I literally just asked 2 very old friends their email and sent 3 shared facts with the request to prove it was me in my request.

@Bine @publictorsten Usually I would use https://12ft.io. But looks like they've caved..

@edphones @Bine @publictorsten there's a pretty effective addon I use on Firefox called "Bypass Paywalls". I think it has a chrome version too if you use that.

@publictorsten @Bine FYI, the spamgourmet.com service is still up and running and is perfect for creating disposable forwarding email addresses that self-destruct after a user-specified number of emails.
