    Ultimately, arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

    Hey you have nothing to hide? Please give me: Your address, bank account info, card numbers, social security, and the information of your family and friends. All passwords. Hand over your wallet too. Give me photos of your fingerprints, genitals, and a 360 view of your head. Why does it matter what I could do with such info? You have nothing to hide, right?

    Do you remember when it was commonly advised to use fake names and birthdays on online forms, and when “spyware” was a term?

    “My prehistoric brain can only think in ‘binary’ and doesn’t understand that development of a successful threat model doesn’t (and often can’t) be perfect, but any incremental change to my behavior and online practices in a way to prevent sensitive information from being shared and potentially utilized by malicious actors is a plus.

    Instead of thinking about all of that, I’m going to reduce the whole subject to a nice and neat logical fallacy of ‘online privacy is terrible nowadays, thus it doesn’t matter what I do’ “

    I don’t think I’ve had an issue on Firefox other than some sites saying “unsupported browser,” which is really the site’s fault.

      I found Firefox to be much slower than Chrome… 10 years ago. Now, not only is it just as fast, it’s a much better experience all around.

    I mean, yeah, privacy isn’t really a thing in our digital surveillance age. Doesn’t mean I’m not gonna make it as hard as possible for them. Make em work for it.

    I use Edge on my work laptop because:

    • Vertical Tabs
    • Logs into my SSO account
    • Leaks info from my computer like a sieve (it’s my employer’s info, and they don’t deserve privacy)
