Mostly unrelated but shopify is incredibly annoying. They introduced this delivery tracking app called "shop" and it has become unavoidable when buying electronics from china. Recently looked at it with mitmproxy and it ships home more than gets shipped to me.


That and they helpfully share your email with a company if you add something to your cart. You don't even have to checkout or submit a form or anything. I can't tell you the number of spam emails I've gotten from companies because they auto add everything they get from shopify to their mailing list and then nag you about not checking out


Wow that's even worse! I use a catch all email and I recently even contacted a company I bought something from about potentially being compromised because I got a weird email. This here would explain what happened.


Mood. It's not just over-seas. With a domestic courier they still use dark-ui to hide the tracker link via "shop".
