More specifically, it’s a high upfront cost just to access a new site when I don’t know whether the site is worth it. And these requirements suggest poor engineering and little attention to user experience which increases the chance that the site is not actually worth it.
I think here it suggests that the website is designed for people with technical abilities for whom registering a throw away Google account wouldn’t be an issue. It’s an non-for-profit project where people are more interested in the actual intervention then they are interested in working on login forms and they want to use all javascript features when programming.
Well, that was a short exploration. They require you to have a Google account and only work with Google Chrome. Thanks for the links anyway!
Why not just register a Google account for this one usecase and use some Chrome clone if you don’t want to install Google Chrome directly?
Pure laziness.
