Could someone explain this to me?
Got it, that’s a super neat plugin!
I just got noscript, and now I realize how much websites use JavaScript, I keep on needing to pause it on my tabs 😆
moved from brave to firefox Why? Brave is open source
Brave Search has been selling data they don’t own, for AI to train with, which makes me distrust the Browser
bought my own domain for my email so I can switch providers. Great to have more control over your assets, but I don’t think this is exactly more secure.
It does keep my business accounts secure, but I guess that’s different than internet security
Switched to duck duck go They sold out forever ago. Your search history is probably safe with Google and not all that lucrative to fraudsters anyway
Do you have any sources/info? I was not aware of them being sold out.
If you really want to hide your activity, just use tor!
True, for general use though, Tor is just so slow.
Keeping all your passwords in the cloud? No bueno!
Bitwarden is fairly secure, and open source as a plus. but I do keep a notebook backup too.
I definitely recommend one of those data eraser services that contacts all the data brokers and gives them legal notices to erase your data from their systems. It’s a shame they’re necessary, but oh well.
Yes, I should check them out.
Also, Proton is actually only end-to-end encrypted when emailing other proton email addresses
Haha, that’s a good point. I can’t change to linux for work reasons, but I should look into dual boot.
You raise a good point. I would say for the most part, I fall under general purpose, with some exceptions. I guess what I’m wondering is, are there security/privacy things that everyone should have, but most people just don’t know about?
That’s a good point. Mostly protecting my data from sites, hiding info from my (shared) internet owner and ISP, keeping accounts secure, and steering clear of viruses. Among other stuff.
True, but also, this is a community for talking about reddit
True, but fortunately the app icon won’t have to be too big
Thanks!
That’s a good point, I wasn’t thinking about it that way.
Thanks!
This one’s my favourite!
That’s a good point, simplicity is important on a mobile device, how’s this?
I wish that I knew that, ha ha. I just wrote it out, then added a link. We know each other so I just showed him the comment.
I tried googling it earlier, but couldn’t find anything :(
Ah okay, thanks!
