IMDB created my account for merely visiting the site

8•astr0n0m3r•6h ago
I went to look up something on IMDb, and then I immediately got an email saying I registered for a new account. I probably did have amazon.com open in another browser tab, but I did not take any actions to created it. From what I can gather Amazon linked accounts are a new thing.

The normal steps to delete an account don't work with Amazon linked accounts, and they send you to amazon.com account settings, which of course, is impenetrable. The Amazon customer service human did not even know what IMDb was.

Just a warning. This is something different than a dark pattern or enshittification.

It will be interesting for someone to track this activity and see what the trigger is for this to occur.

Iunno, counts as both dark pattern and a form of enshittification from where I’m sitting.

Makes me wonder about "Container Tabs" [0]

I saw this feature and never gave it much thought, but this post has me looking seriously at it.

> Firefox containers let you separate your browsing activities into color-coded tabs for banking, work and personal browsing. This allows you to always open new tabs in containers of your choosing for a more private browsing experience. Each container is isolated from the others, so you can access sites logged into different accounts. This article explains how to enable and use the Firefox containers manager to open containers from the main browser interface quickly.
