@arstechnica@mastodon.social Several steps skipped, already at 8
@arstechnica@mastodon.social Privacy should never be assumed on the internet.
It should however be the default setting for any interaction.
@arstechnica@mastodon.social ‘Incognito mode’ now called ‘Firefox’
@arstechnica@mastodon.social
Not really surprised. That’s why I use Firefox and lately started to switch to Brave.@arstechnica@mastodon.social
🙄
Oh, the good old days when a client, who didn’t want anyone to see company images and files, demanded I made his computer absolutely private and not detectable ‘on the internet’.
I said “Oh, I can do that.”
And I pulled out his computer’s plug.@arstechnica@mastodon.social As I mentioned elsewhere, Google is long past any reasonable benefit of the doubt.
Next, we’ll learn incognito mode on Gboard still sends data home.
@arstechnica@mastodon.social Time to use Librewolf, Firefox and Firefox Focus for those times. Why do these fuckers need to know what kind of smut I read and watch anyways?
@arstechnica@mastodon.social Solution: don’t use chrome.
