But it requires you to login with your Google account. Weird for an open source game.
Just remember, you will still be supporting the monoculture of the Chromium engine

Yeah, just add an edit to the post.
Re:DoNotPay's new service auto-cancels free trials on Thursday July 18, 2019 @11:06AM (#20470575)
Here is what I do, which doesn't require an app: Cancel it right away. All services I have done this with still give you the full trial period.
But if we produce general AI in the near future it will have taken us billions of years, a considerable fraction of all time in this universe.

Blocking third-party cookies gives you full protection in this and other situations without any major annoyances.

Other subcomments here mention it, but every time this comes up it seems most people (including the article) aren't aware that blocking 3rd party cookies is a super easy fix and IMHO should be the default of browsers.

I've only ever had issues with this at my banking site because they use a third party to host their solution (Work around is opening the iframe). But I am now going to ask them to fix this (I guess all it requires is a sudomain pointing to the third party?).

Please help spread the message and ask trouble web sites to fix their shit or if I'm completely wrong, educate me and let's move things forward.

Why is it that most developers use Chrome when we have Firefox? If the devtools are better, use Chrome for that and use Firefox for browsing.
The simple setting, most seem to be overlooking, is don't allow third party cookies. Voila.
Why not move to Firefox? They actually want what's best for us. Check out the Developer Edition.

I don't understand all the rules at play here, but from a fairness standpoint, you shouldn't be forced to sell. That is the real problem as I see it. At least people forced to sell here got some money to kind of even things out.

Can someone enlighten me here? What is the reasoning for allowing people to buy from people who don't want to sell?

That is a terrible reason. We need more services to not depend on Facebook login, for obvious reasons.
