I did ..... my security on the internet is never keep anything on my HD, use multiple platforms, windows, linux and mac. Good VPN’s a live boot Tails OS that uses my RAM versus my HD and Tor with multiple bridges ..... all that and I just go read the news. Snagged a great little free software called “ghostery” lets ya know what sites have what trackers analytics etcetera and block them.... I think ya might like it.
I’m of two opinions on net privacy / security ..... either stroll down the middle of vulnerable street or be so stealthy it draws attention ... Either or .... nothing here to see ....:o)
Hope yer well ! .... Stay Safe !
Ghostery is a great pgm. Stupidly, the alt news sites overload the trackers to the point of making them unloadable. Drudge has only a few, and FR only analytics. You know much more than I want to about modern computers. It was never my real interest, just something that I fell into for a few minutes in my youth. I wonder if it is worth trying to be private anymore? There are more ways to walk through my house invisibly than locks on my doors and windows. Sometimes I wish I didn’t understand this.
