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 donβt 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. Itβs a shame theyβre necessary, but oh well.
You raise a good point. I would say for the most part, I fall under general purpose, with some exceptions.
I guess what Iβm wondering is, are there security/privacy things that everyone should have, but most people just donβt know about?
Thatβs 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.
I use windows, Linux, and mac, and depending on who I'm talking to, I make sure to tell them that they should get one of the other operating systems because they're better
You making bread? Sourdough bread is the best!
