Same experience

Oh , that's cute this spammer thinks there must be an admin@mydomain.com etc

Only other downside I could think if is when my catch all cant be used to send a mail or reply.

So I do use them a lot for suppliers en services, but for registering initially and password reset. But I can't use it to contact support by mail.

Mostly I rely on forms or self service portals when I need it as a customer.

Or its just miniturisation in contexts without a separate phone (aka IoT)?

Which happen to be myself. And the datacenter facility owner.

How would that be leaking, home hosters aside?

Yep, that would be the ip adres of my €5 a month VPS somewhere in an german datacenter.

Sailforms Android app!

Use like 12 years for keeping track of lots of personal stuff. It's a generic database / table / forms app that's very powerfull. Buttons, queries, reports, calculated fields etc.

But: the app developer stopped despite a rather enthusiastic community. Now it isn't even on the Play Store anymore and I guess everybody must have an exit strategy.

For example, because its autocorrect in a multi-language setting is pretty bad (autocorrecting wrong language even if its manually switched).

Was wondering....

If I would invest $10 a month .... How many computing power I could get ... For an Adnauseam-As-A-Service server ... And how many ad-budget that would vaporize?

Would it make $100, $1000 or more ad budget worthless?

Just curious what the numbers would be?

 

I didnt need even more motivation to degoogle but got it anyway.

Agree, also I never encountered other software so flexible in user interface. Every feature can be placed with panels everywhere to your own liking. The whole app interface is like a canvas. Took me a while to get the hang of it but after that ...

Wished other apps were this flexible.

 

My questions are:

  • Does the DuckDuckGo Firefox extension "Privacy Essentials" add a local css file to every visited site?
  • Can others reproduce this?
  • Is this harmfull or not?

Background:

I have a simple static one page site with just one html and css file. It's completely tracker free. Debugging it a bit with developer mode (F12) on I discovered a second css file. This file isnt on my webserver but added local. To pinpoint what caused this I removed every add-on / extension in my browser one by one, reloading and checking my website every time. Took me a while because didnt expect this one causing it.

To reproduce:

  • Install the extension from the link.
  • Open a random site
  • Check in developer mode the tab Style editor.
  • Scroll and look for a file named %3Ais(%5Bid*%3D'google_ads_iframe'%5D%.css or something like that.
  • Remove the extension and refresh.
  • Check if the file disappears.

Content of the css file: :is([id*='google_ads_iframe'], [id*='taboola-'], .taboolaHeight, .taboola-placeholder, #credential_picker_container, #credentials-picker-container, #credential_picker_iframe, [id*='google-one-tap-iframe'], #google-one-tap-popup-container, .google-one-tap-modal-div, #amp_floatingAdDiv, #ez-content-blocker-container) { display:none!important; min-height:0!important; height:0!important; }

Although the headline focusses on a obvious category of media, it really can go wrong on a lot of other categories as well.
