I am of the opinion of online privacy is not really applicable to me because I feel the sites I visits are mostly normal sites without anything to hide but this post is something more enlightening and would start implementing some of the recommendations there. Thanks Op.
The thing is, what is
normal sites without anything to hide? A lot of these sites looks normal, but they hide a lot of nasty agendas. Most people think Google is a normal site, but behind that money and power is a lot of information gathering and reporting to government agencies.
Just look at what is happening at Facebook now and how they handle our sensitive information. These government agencies will stop at nothing to gather information on innocent citizens and hackers will create sites to try and steal your coins.
yes, the most problem with privacy are these
normal sites that are sneaky collecting your personal information. Most people let them collect this information for free just because they are not really aware of it.
For the people that are new to really privacy protection, what should they consider the first risk to their privacy. Presume that those that engage in a lot of crypto transactions or other dealings have embraced privacy...because they know they have to...what about the rest of us? Where are we likely to get hit first? Easiest?
I didn´t understand your question. What should we protect first? Well, in my opinion the I can´t surf on the web without an Adblock. When you get used to see the websites as they should be, as they were designed, ads are going to hurt your eyes when you spot them.
I do not feel comfortable using Chrome anymore too. I feel Google is sneaking all the time, stealing my data. I think this is a good start.
