I’m not that keen on giving away my data, so it’s less about saving a buck, and more about not releasing info about me and what companies I’m reading about.

    Just make a bullshit account with a temp email and say you worked in McDonalds or Starbucks or something. You are right not to give up your data. Well done, 👏

    Use duckduckgo’s browser plugin to generate a one time an email alias to point to your real email.

    Or simplelogin or mozmail

    If you don’t want them getting your IP address proton VPN allows a free tier VPN or you can use tails or tor browser

    Good luck

      Thanks, ended up going this route. Bugmenot plugin didn’t seem to find anything? Already use VPN, so I set up duckduck plugin and generated a new burner email.
