Greetings Wondering what others are noticing.
I made a purchase from an online store - - - its a smaller entity that covers some interesting niches - - therefore the order. In doing the purchase - - - noticed, using uBlockOrigin and PrivacyBadger, that paypal 'only' has some 9 domains linked into the transaction. Hmmm - - - that's not all - - - that's what PrivacyBadger was picking up - - - uBlockOrigin noted that there were some 15 domains of which it blocked some 4. Still linked were crackbook and a bunch of ms googly's garbage. So I called the company to tell them that I found this concerning. I asked the person that I was talking to if they were into internet privacy and security - - - very much so was the answer. So I asked him why he needed all these domains connected. The long and short of it was that he got quite huffy and asked me to cancel my order (and without saying so) get lost. It is more important to him that everyone and his dog know about his transactions that it is for him to make transactions. I do wish there were a way of warning other customers - - - - his website is likely a magnet for web bottom feeders and he doesn't think its worth things about. Oh well - - - for me - - - once and not again. Its bloody hard not to purchase online - - - what are any of you seeing, think about this, doing about this? What can be done to minimize the negative effects of dealing with this kind of website? Hopefully not just adjudged as noise!
