[QUOTE="LDogg, post: 797100, member: 72150"] You have to take into account the selling of data vs security. Personally I wouldn't mind, especially if using free products, you have to draw the line some where, they have to make some sort of revenue back for people using their service(s). However the same argument can't be said for adblocking, this is where I care about privacy vs security. Malvertising is the bane of all individuals who do not use adblocking extensions. So this is the only aspect where I care about having data sold or being infected by ads. AVs are needed. The continuous evolution of malware & ransomware have even tricked IT Professionals to get infected. AVs are not a blank canvas of total protection yes, it's better to have one than not at all, so this opinion of yours has no factual basis in rhetoric debate. Regardless of browser usage, factually the Chromium base of a browser is the most secured and the most up-to-date. I understand you hate the webs elite due to privacy reasons, however there's no reason to shoot people down to their software preferences. ~LDogg [/QUOTE]
