    My impression is the thing with modern day ad tracking, selling information to spammers, and hackers is, even if you secure your browser tighter than a drum, any one of your browser extensions, which we’ve given permission to read all site data on every site you visit and interact with, could be keeping extensive logs on your activity and selling that away to the highest bidder. Am I understanding that right?

    thanks for the tip, i’m already on firefox, but when run it said i had “some protection” for both blocking tracking ads, and blocking invisible trackers, added privacy badgers after reading your post, because why not, and now it says YES for both

    “a cool machine” does not fit Trump’s manufactured fantasy of representing “the republican everyman against the elites”, you see. His low information electorate doesn’t know what a gaming pc is, and wouldn’t trust anyone who has one, just because they are dirt dumb and like it that way.
