When Uploading A Screenshot of a Website, Be Aware Of Your Browser Tabs
When uploading a screenshot of your website (or someone else's website), make sure your email address (or portion of your email address) is not exposed when taking a screenshot. I uploaded my screenshot of pagination for my website and a part of my email address has been exposed over the web and I had to retake the screenshot without it. If you have a webmail opened in one browser tab such as GMail/Google Workspace, your browser tab will look similar to this:
Inbox (5): yourname(at)your...
That tab is exposed by the<title> tag inside a website. Here's what I mean:
<html>
<head>
<title>Inbox (5): yourname(at)yourdomainname(dot)com</title>
<head>
<body>
<h1>Your E-Mail Provider</h1>
<p>Your email messages go here.</p>
</body>
<html>
Instead of "@", I use "(at)" so that spam harvesters and bots won't harvest any email addresses in my website; however, I won't give away any of my 170+ email addresses at all. Pay special attention to the title of web pages that you currently have opened. By "title," I meant your browser tabs. My advice is do not leave anything sensitive unattended. I hope I can be of help to everyone. Be safe out there in the web!
