Maybe people who are privacy and security focused shouldn't use operating systems that track you. This is like trying to save a sinking ship by keeping your shoes dry.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 4y agoPrivacy is not a binary state, but rather something of a spectrum ( and partially a reason as to why Google and others try different avenues for siphoning data ). Every little bit helps a little bit depending on your tolerance and skill level. I genuinely do not expect my mom to run FF with appropriate plugins from a scrubbed VM each time she wants to check something. But I can give her some sane defaults instead. I agree with your general point, but ignoring an issue just because there is no 100% solution is not reasonable either.

I'm saying that when you buy a vehicle, and the driver's-side door, by design, unchangeably, cannot be locked, maybe you shouldn't buy that model of car, rather than try to hack privacy into the vehicle by adding an aftermarket passenger-side door with laser tripwires and barbed wire.
