Well, the relevance all depends on your threat model. Personally, I care about protecting my banking info from strangers but not about protecting my info from privacy.com and its third parties.
I think "spyware" is a bit of an exaggeration considering that presumably many privacy.com users have a threat model similar to mine.
- esrauch 6y agoI'm curious about this stance; are you worried specifically about people stealing money from you? Because outside of that, the privacy.com-third-parties (and then third parties they might sell data onward to from there) seem more strangers than the businesses you have actually have a direct financial transaction with; you can't even enumerate who they are.
- rsa25519 6y agoI mean, if you look on the privacy.com website, the only 3rd-party request is Google Fonts. Personally, the privacy tradeoff is worth being able to pull a font from the cache, even though I understand that the same doesn't apply to everyone
