[QUOTE="mazskolnieces, post: 912799, member: 88422"] Chasing privacy is a waste of time. Mostly because your data is already out there and you have virtually no control over keeping it private and safe. To make privacy effective on local host requires a large amount of tweaking, installing 3rd party software (including browser extensions), more configuration, and the step where most people utterly fail and unravel all the configuration work that they've done... it requires the user to follow specific inconvenient procedures (such as using a browser at its default window size) as well as not doing a lot of things (that the user is going to do anyway), somehow thinking they'll be able to get away with doing those things somehow and keep themselves private or anonymous. Ensuring your privacy in the digital world is more or less a full-time occupation with a lot of work and effort requried. [/QUOTE]
