Hi!
As of 2025, a lot of the world's top websites do not work on an IPv6 connection, which is slated to become the default for new internet connections, due to IPv6 exhaustion.

Google tip: Set ?authuser=[email]
Permalink | Author: Dan Dart | Published: 2022-09-12 08:44:03 UTC | Tags: authuser email google tip
Having lost my cookies a considerable amount of times, and having multiple Google accounts on-the-go in one browser, I am often faced with bookmarks that are out of date, because they point to something like ?authuser=1, meaning "the second account you happened to have signed into".
Now, you might see where this is going, the second account I happen to sign into one time isn't always the second account I happen to sign into any other time, so it frustrated me considerably until I found this little shortcut:
Just set ?authuser=[email] instead of ?authuser=[arbitrary number]!
And yes, this also works with /u/[email]/ as well as /u/[arbitrary number]!
