September 30, 2022Tell HN: Amazon shows different (worse) pricing when logged in
The incognito window showed $79 for my size/color, but the logged-in window showed $85. It didn't matter how many times I reloaded either page — neither changed. Ultimately I logged the incognito window into my Amazon account to get that pricing, since it was clear there was no other way. More on news.ycombinator.com

Not really. Private browsing stops your search history from saving, but all orders remain linked to your account and visible in your order history.

r/PrivacyGuides on Reddit: How to use Amazon privately or anonymously?
September 30, 2022 -
I am wanting to use Amazon to buy Kindle eBooks.
I already have an Amazon account linked to my real name however and I’ve bought books on the account before. So I might be losing all of those books. I haven’t fully decided whether it’s worth it yet.
So I guess the only way to go about this is to use prepaid VISA gift cards to buy the books, or Amazon gift cards. If there’s any other way, let me know.
But am I allowed to use a pseudonym (fake name) for an Amazon account? Could I get banned for that?

I’ve ridden along on deliveries with Amazon. I’ve seen people straight up use names like “Ms. Goodpussy”. As for the address? If there’s an Amazon locker near you, or anywhere within your comfortable driving distance, you can deliver there and pick up packages at your convenience. Combine those two, and no one will know you’re getting packages, except the payment processor. You can use gift cards to handle that, either Amazon or prepaid debit. Boom. Now only your grocery store clerk knows you shop at Amazon. If you use a prepaid debit no one knows. Pure speculation, I’ve never had to think about this and I just came up with it on the spot. When using a fake name make it realistic though, it’s gonna be awkward dealing with support if a package goes missing

Hello M Leary
Welcome to the Microsoft Community.
It's frustrating when a specific website doesn't load properly, especially one as frequently used as Amazon.
Here are several steps you can try to troubleshoot and possibly fix the issue:
- Clear Cache and Cookies: Over time, your browser's cache and cookies can accumulate and cause loading issues with websites. Clearing them might solve the problem. Since this happens in Private mode as well, this might not be the solution, but it's a good first step. Disclaimer: Your browser automatically saves temporary internet files to help pages load faster. Clearing this cache will sometimes fix website issues. Please back up all your personal files first, such as Favorites, to ensure you do not lose data.
- Disable Browser Extensions: Sometimes, browser extensions can interfere with how web pages load. Try disabling all your browser extensions and then load Amazon again to see if that solves the issue.
- Check for Browser Updates: Ensure that your browsers (Chrome and Edge) are updated to their latest versions. Outdated browsers can lead to compatibility issues with websites.
- Try a Different DNS: Sometimes, DNS issues can cause problems accessing certain websites. Try changing your DNS settings to a public DNS service like Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1).
- Network Troubleshooting: There might be a network-related issue. Try restarting your router and modem. Additionally, if you're using a VPN or proxy, try disabling it to see if that's causing the issue.
- Check for System Updates: Make sure your operating system is up to date. Sometimes, compatibility issues can arise from outdated system files.
- Try Another Network: If possible, try connecting to Amazon using a different internet connection. This can help determine if the issue is network-related.
- Contact ISP: Since this issue is persistent across multiple devices and browsers, it might be worth contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP). They might have some network-level blocking or issues that are causing the problem.
- Use Amazon App: As a temporary workaround, consider using the Amazon app on a mobile device if you need to make a purchase and can't access the website.
If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.
