When you close the browser and open a new one is the malware still active?

I use the Duck Duck Go browser which automatically blocks trackers. I don’t know if it would prevent this.

I wonder if this is related:

I just got a new smartphone, which, unfortunately, had google on it. When I tried to install an app for driving directions, it forced me to open a google account.
The next time I attempted to use my new phone, it wouldn’t accept my fingerprint or my password. It was essentianly a paperweight.

I was so disgusted that I restored the factoy settings and am returning the phone.

It took all day and several phonecalls to both my carrier and the manufacturer to learn how to wipe the phone, and ended up going online on my desktop to find out how to do it.

Everything was fine until I went to google.

What do you think?

Looks like using a second browser opened still uses the same common cache files. So they are going to share that same bad script. Looks like a second browser needs to be renamed unique and then configured to use a second different cache of it’s own. This is going to take some homework...

I don’t understand all of this but I do know that I don’t like paying subscription prices for YouTube.

Digging into “cache isolation”.

Elections coming up.

They need more blackmail material, particularly on the down ballots.

Could someone suggest a browser for usage, please ?

I clear all cache, cookies, history etc every time I close my browser. I have malware that blocks all trackers and in privacy badger I block every Google service.

Pretty simple to do.

I went ahead and cleared Firefox (history, etc.). They don’t specifically mention “clearing the cache” but they allowed me to clear everything. So now I’m back on, and I’ll be logging back into everything, but not YouBoob.

I see 112 network requests (hit F12 in Firefox, then Network, then F5, and look bottom left), but never had an issue with what you warn of, thank God. Gateway Pundit was calling for up to 500 at one time. FF, 3.

Restart, Load NordVPN before doing anything and then proceed or are the hidden cookies going to give you away?

Security vs. Convenience

More than 70 percent of computer users choose Convenience entirely.

Too many users click on links in e-mail messages and text messages. DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINK IN AN E-MAIL MESSAGE NOR IN A TEXT MESSAGE.

As a security guy, years ago, I used to “watch” the sun rise around the globe . . . by observing the morning-time, TURNING ON, of Windows OS machines that were compromised.

Thailand . . . India . . . Egypt . . . Morocco . . . Cayman Islands . . . Samoa . . .
