So I've been using Mouser for years, but they have a new customer-killer, a CAPTCHA that pops up every minute or so. This even after I log into my account there.
Their answer is to blame me for using spam-blocking.
Mine is to look for other suppliers. Besides Digi-Key, who should I look into?
newark, allied.
Which ad-blocking software are you using? I'm using u-block Origin and am not seeing a problem.
In fact, I see that Mouser is handling the Gowin product. Nice!
Never seen one, and I don't have a personal account.
Arrow is OK too.
Cheers

It's been 8 years since I left but I used to do a good bit of purchasing and back then
Hi David, AFAIK most spam blockers allow you to white-list a website. Since Mouser is a valid site for vending products but probably does engage in all the other craziness like 3rd-party scripts, affiliates, and tracking, I see no reason not to white-list them, and do a clear-cache afterwards. But if your position is philosophical, you feel you shouldn't have to do that extra work, then OK, don't shop at Mouser. But you are probably on the losing side of the battle, as more sites monetize their main business revenue with marketing our personal data. Whoever said "technology will save us" had no idea..

I don't block them, they block me via their CAPTCHA requests every minute or less.
U-block, ghostery, NoScript.
