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.

It’s very sunny out today… 💀

Oh man, it’s so hard for me to watch that short.

I got my first name :)

Looks like a telescope (or a massive microscope)
