I recently found that more sites has Stripe code on pages that actually don't require payment. First it was a calendar site to schedule meetings, now this.

As many of you, I have a bunch of blockers installed in my web browser and I strip off the Strip code when I am opening non.io 'register' page. Unfortunately, it prevents me from registering.

I believe the code there is to build my profile and start using metrics/features about who I am. I am not sure if it is really necessary at that point.

Would you consider removing Stripe snippets on registering page?

what payment method would you prefer? I find Stripe to be one of the least invasive payment SDKs. Am I wrong?

It's not about which payment method is used, it's about Stripe's payment SDK being embedded on every page (or at least, more pages than it needs to be on).

I misunderstood. Yes, that's not ok

Just for clarification, the site is a SPA. There’s no difference in the frontend package between the registration page or viewing a post.
