After trying Duck Duck Go and Brave’s products, it turns out I actually don’t care much about privacy. I care much more about using a product I like and that works the way I want.
Has anyone else felt this way?
- smitty1e 6y agoAnd the companies who scoop up information that doesn't seem relevant at the time may not, themselves be doing anything you'd disapprove of. Now, when those companies are purchased, hacked, or have some policy shift you don't fancy, there may be issues. I've been online a couple decades, so I'm a bit sanguine. If somebody really wants to doxx me or get me fired or do more than the annual ID theft on the credit card, what am I to do? Take reasonable precautions and don't over-worry seems like the reasonable approach.
