Goodbye, Chrome: Google’s web browser has become spy software
“In a week of Web surfing on my desktop, I discovered 11,189 requests for tracker “cookies” that Chrome would have ushered right onto my computer but were automatically blocked by Firefox. These little files are the hooks that data firms, including Google itself, use to follow what websites you visit so they can build profiles of your interests, income and personality.”

Dell software designed to protect you from vulnerabilities has another vulnerability
“Dell’s SupportAssist software, a Windows toolkit designed in part to protect your computer from security vulnerabilities, has yet another vulnerability of its own that makes running older versions of the software a risk to your system”
Y’all know to uninstall all that OEM crap right?

    Why everyone didn’t see this coming I’ll never know. Can’t teach an old dog new tricks. The real shame of it all is that some good browsers use chrome (Opera, Vivaldi), so I assume they’ve been dragged down with them, too?

    Well no duh regarding Chrome. Google is really a spyware company masquerading as a tech company. I’ve moved away from Chrome to Firefox and Android to IOS. I’m done with Google just like I was done with Facebook a couple of years ago.
