It now redirects you to the new site login page. There's no way to sign up with out an email anymore(?) It was only possible on the old site.

Did this just happen within the past hour or two?

One of the other sub's here had something about it earlier, I can't find it of course.

Some people seemed to be redirected, others reported no problems.

Some users were also reporting that a Gmail address was now required for new signups, others said no.

Seems like probably an A/B test.

I no longer have an account there, I still use Stealth (Android) for search redirects and have no issues, others say Stealth doesn't work at all.

Odd that Gmail specifically would be required.

They did make a $60 million deal recently with Google, so maybe it’s related to that?

Stealth works, but you have to do a fresh install for some reason.

I experienced this yesterday, maybe 12 hours ago? So not just in the last few hours.
