In the US, I will use a credit card to but a gift credit card.
You pick the “ gift size “ like $100. You pay an 8% overhead, but when the gift account is drained, you know they will shut you down.
I consider it an 8% security fee to protect my primary cards if I am dealing with a sketchy site.
Guarantees the topside exposure.
You can do this where I live but you cannot buy a lottery ticket with a credit card!
ponder that for a while
My conclusion: to prevent “buy every combo”, and then multiple winners split the pot?

Buy gift cards like you're gonna pay a Nigerian prince in dire straits. Only don't send them to him, but use them as the cards you plug in for this sort of stuff. No more auto-renew anything.

well not really. But I did collect and file interesting tabs into my history folders - 40+ windows, nigh north of 150 tabs.
Yeah, I need therapy.
Tabs ran across an eclectic group of topics and issues: IRS, estate, hot tub maintenance, 20+ weather tabs, 3 groups of customer issues, the list goes on.
I feel a little cleaner.

Perhaps the early days of Netscape, when the concept of browser tab was non-existent, provided more focus in our work and study.

1. Congratulations! It must have hurt, but you did it!
2. Bookmarks. They've been around for a while, but they let you save tabs for later visits and close them in the meantime. Arranged into folders, you can easily find them in the future and open a whole group in one go. Takes all the fear out of closing tabs, I find. Mostly. Still had 13 when I opened Firefox this morning 
Incidentally, one of my major reasons for using FF – decent managment of bookmarks. Chrome has long sucked at this, not even having a sidebar until recently, and that still doesn't have a keyboard shortcut to open it (though inexplicably there's one to close it again). I've got over 2000 bookmarks collected since the early nineties, so I may have a problem too...

Bookmarks are so 1990's. 
Bookmarks require more work to find than open tabs, or at least that's how it feels.

There is a nifty extension for Firefox, which I forgot the name of (and I can't use FF at work so I can't check) which allows to save the current open tabs.
It's been an absolute gem when I was shunted from project to project during my consulting days and I had to learn a dozen different technologies and tools from scratch in a handful of days.

I'll look into Vivaldi - it appears interesting.
I'm mainly an opera user. Firefox I gave up on years ago due to it's persistent memory leaks. Chrome is well... chrome. I've had the same memory leaks with it. Edge I only use on rare occasions - just don't care for the layout.
My next mission, because I have 3 machines in front of me with 7 VMs is to be able to share amongst my browsing sessions, but it will have to wait - I have real work to do.

I believe Vivaldi was started by the guy who wrote Opera. I used it until it got bought out by the Chinese. Here's a post from the web:
Quote: The browsers? Well, both are trying to some degree to emulate an old version of Opera. The founder of Vivaldi was actually one of the two people who created the old version of Opera. Jon actually ran Opera Software for years, then he decided to take the company public and retire. He says he didn't like where the new managers were taking Opera, so he founded Vivaldi, hired many of the developers of old Opera, and created another browser more to his liking. Opera is more focused on simplicity, while Vivaldi is more about flexibility.
