What are your opinions on brave as a browser. In one of my older articles, I recommended it, and am now starting to question my recommendation (it has been removed from PTio).
What are your opinions and do you have any alterantives (obviously not stuff like firefox and tor, this is for social things.)

Read my article if you are confused:

Maaaaybe don't email me about your "privacy respecting" product that I should list on my site and then have my privacy add-ons light up because of the number of trackers on your site...

I'm blocking ost.social because they are a gab friendly instance.

You probably should to.

Privacy isn't about hiding bad things.

It’s about protecting what defines us as human beings, who we are: our day-to-day behavior, our personality, our fears, our relationships, and our vulnerabilities.

In email marketing software, tracking is often enabled by default. Here are some friendly suggestions to help make tracking less pervasive, less creepy, and less leaky. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/01/stop-tracking-my-emails

Trying to convince some people that "if the product is free then you are the product" is difficult.

Consider your options when deciding on home surveillance. Allowing audio and video recordings to be uploaded to a centralized server can allow intruders (#hackers, #google, #amazon, #governments, #police) access to your home, circumventing the protection you originally hoped for.

A peoples operations manger at DDG sent me an email because of my blog. It is a good feeling knowing that people in the industry enjoy reading what you create.
It was interesting talking, and I've given them some feedback about some issues such as the core code being proprietary, and the fact that they are based in the US.

I may have some updates in the future about my website and also my job (though this is a long way in the future as I have more important issues at the moment).
