      @@Hy-Brasil Not at all. What I meant was, why worry about trying to use google search anymore since they have messed it up so bad, you can’t find anything anymore. It ignores your specific query and answers something you did not ask it. As for using it to watch your dvd’s, I don’t believe it is terrible to do that if you limit that browser to you dvd’s and other google services. For everything else, use a different browser. Rob Braxman says in that way you can severely limit their tracking capability. I am assuming she is not using google to watch dvd’s she does not want it known she is watching? I assume she knows better than that.

      @gorkyd7912 4 роки тому +1

      I don't think this should be as depressing as people think it is. The depression comes from fear, the fear comes from the unknown; we don't know how much they know about us or how they're using it so it's scary. The more you know the less fearful you will be and the less depressed you will be. The insinuation is "Google knows everything you do online" or something like that, scary, but move past your fears and the truth is more like Google is a system of CCTV cameras on public streets. It sees little bits of your public life (browsing the internet) and that's it. It uses AI to try to make assumptions about you that it can use for its purposes. The assumptions are always wrong because browsing the internet even for a heavy internet user is not their entire life, but they can still be useful when aggregated across many, many users even with this very low acuity. If you've ever tried to advertise to users on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, you will see just how bad these assumptions are by how they target your ads. Actually they know almost nothing, but the fear of these systems cripples dissidents needlessly and yes they are improving their information over time.

    I'd appreciate your opinion as I'm stuck on making a tough decision. I'm looking for an optimal web browser set up for maximum online privacy. I'm debating which of these 3 options is best. The first option is using 4 different web browsers, 1 for each (email, banking, shopping and general web browsing). Option 2 is using Firefox exclusively and having 4 different user profiles set up. Option 3 is to use just 1 Firefox user profile and create "containers". I love firefox and really prefer option 3 best then option 2 because it would be great using 1 browser. However, I'm thinking it will not offer the most security against fingerprinting and tracking. I'm new to all this and would greatly appreciate your suggestions!

    Does having Gmail/UA-cam apps on your iPhone still monitor everything else you do on your phone?

    I think we need to build a more perfect web that allows users to test their privacy techniques, tell them whether their techniques are really helping them to avoid the tracking.

    I'm confused. If Google tracks fingerprinting through Google analytics embedded into nearly every website, and if Facebook tracks fingerprinting through the embedding of likes buttons ... then wont they simply build a fingerprinting profile for each separate browser used and then link the profiles of the Google dedicated and Facebook dedicated browsers by using secondary means. For example, installing Chrome and running Chrome can have an internal fingerprinting harvester that reaches into the systems application folders, temp file locations, and who knows what else (since its not open-sourced) to assist them with profile linking.

      @@TornacenseDeFuturo I can't fault your reasoning. It seemed like a good idea because it was the only way they would mail me checks. Later they insisted on direct deposit so they got that info as well.
      Yup Google's got a lot of info on me but at least I got paid for it. That's no reason however to give my info to every company. @Rob Braxman goes into the situation of public and private profiles so I won't go into that here.

    Brave asks if you want to block trackers when you set it up. Block or no? What’s the most basic version of the browser if it asks you this up front?

    My chrome browser is the only one that logs in to sites. I use several other browsers for everything else.
    I started doing this for a different reason over a year ago and discovered I was no longer getting ads for stuff I searched for.
    Firefox I have but hate, on my Linux system it wants to eat up all my ram for some reason but I do use it for UA-cam when I don't want to be logged in.

    Hey Rob, say I get a hotspot without using my name & cash... Put it in the woods a mile or so away.... (Not a smartphone hotspot) now I then use a wifi canon to connect to it in the distance.... Can I still be located when using VPN/tor? Can it locate my position just like 5g for example?

      Are you seriously considering this? Lots of discipline. I have a video where I set up a Ham Mesh network on my boat (AREDN) and I was receiving 20mbps of Internet and it was 3-4 miles away. Really inconvenient.

      The more difficult or the more steps to get online it takes helps me to be not only privacy oriented, but also, to respect my time online more and take less things for granted.
