Good read, thanks for sharing. For chrome users I'd advise using these extensions: I use Surfshark chrome extension for a VPN, PrivacyBadger, cookieautodelete, HTTPS everywhere, User Agent switcher if you're being sort of paranoid. I have CCleaner installed too, but usually there's nothing to clean since extensions handle most of it.
- shocks 8y agoI'd encourage you to give Firefox a go if you haven't already. The new version is really good, and I personally trust Mozilla a lot more. :)
- SqwRock 8y agoThank you, Firefox is one of my main browsers, I use Chrome basically for youtube playlist :D
- 908087 8y agoI assume surfshark is a "free VPN" extension? If so, you're probably doing the opposite of protecting your privacy by using it. Using Chrome is also generally a poor choice.
- SqwRock 8y agoSurfshark is a paid VPN, I would never choose to use a free VPN. Furthermore, Surfshark has been audited by Cure53 to check their browser extension security and got a good review https://cure53.de/pentest-report_surfshark.pdf https://cure53.de/pentest-report_surfshark.pdf To put it short they earned my trust. And I use several browsers, totally agree Chrome is a poor choice but I don't expect people stop using it, might as well use it as safely as possible :)
- 908087 8y agoOut of curiosity, why would you choose a browser extension over an actual VPN that tunnels all of your traffic?
