Yeah, Brave was caught using their refferal links to redirect users to earn some "ching chings" which they admitted and apologized later.
if you only browse youtube, then you are right. They might as well use google chrome in that situation.
Would like to enlighten me a bit on these, please?
what about spyware?
Both gnuicecat and librewolf are demozillaed Firefox browsers (just like degoogled chromium browser). Right out of the box, both of these forks disable javascripts, telemetry services, etc. (I don't have anything against firefox browser, even Tor is based on FF. I don't really understand why google is the default search engine on FF and pocket is enabled at default.)
, not many websites are like this.Security and privacy are different things. Google's standard for security is a very high one.
yeah, I agree with you. but google doesn't have a history that they take consumer's side when it comes to either security or privacy. Sometimes they don't fix vulnerabilities as soon as they're discovered in order to gain more access to user's data.
honestly i think theres so much money put into new ways to extract our personal data that i just assume every you do on the internet is cached and recorded on some super server somewhere. I perosnally think anonymity doesnt exist anymore, NSA and CIA have been known to of created persistant firmware malware. in other words they have found creative ways to write there spying into our hardware. Unless you are an expert in computer science and and also a security and networking expert i think most of us stand little chance. Go only knows what algorythms and A.I they use for our data behind closed doors. Our most imporant data is our "biometric data" at least with any of our digital data , we can change passwords, musical tastes, hobbies and interests but we cant change our DNA, retina pattern or finger prints. Be warey of ancestry sites mining everybodys DNA, who knows what they are mapping with that kind of DATA!
personal data is the new currency. with that data they can run it against databases which categorize our "personality types", so governments can get a better hold on the latest trends, who were likley to vote for and make it easier for companies to make us part with our money using sophisitcated algorthyms and subliminal advertising. On one level it does all improve our experience on the web but on the dark side our personal data often is used in an exploitative mannor by the marketing gurus and genius's. They have now "hacked" the human mind, they probaably have algorythms that can detect your personality just by the way we type on a keyboard! Its a balancing act trying to balance seccurity with privacy - the 2 often work antagonistically as opposed to synergystically, the more secure we are the less privacy we have , yet the more freedom we have the less safe we potentially are. If our data is just sat on servers somewhere fr eternity thats fine by me, but what concerns me is we dont know how it may be used against us in the future, none of us can foresee what will be done with our data, perhaps "pre crime" from the movie "minority report" will beocme a real technology based on our searches,interests and purchases they will have data maps of the likelyhood for certain populations and inidviduals who are most likely to commit crime. The human race will be reduced to a large number of 1's and 0's with a pre determined life span and predictors for behaviour, humanity will be in the clutches of a skynet type hybrid computer-organism that calls the shots. There will be be an uprising of linux enthusiasts who will rebel, and run their own operating sytstems on ancient hardware which is so old that cutting edge spyware will not even operate on those machines. Those linux rebels will be led by a "john connor" like leader possibly a giant penguin!
