[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 840159, member: 82776"] Second thought: despite the many likes and two applauds on my first post in this thread, I think I have to revise my ideas on this Remember I gave my gaming laptop to my youngest brother an revived a nearly 10 year old laptop with Manjaro Linux, to male October ny stoptober for gaming. It took my brother less than three weeks to click on a "you are infected scam" and download a ransomware to cure his pc from the infection. Luckily he only uses it for school and gaming (he is 16), so it did not hurt that much to re-install Windows 10 Home again (now as admin with Hard_Configurator SRP and WD defender on highest with protected folders feature on). But when I re-installed, he only was concerned about protection, not privacy (so I manually added some ABP-rules in uBlock to block third-party and pop-ups for his favorite porn websites :cool: ) [B]So me revised opinion[/B] The majority of consumers don't care about privacy. The educated users concerned over privacy already use alternative browsers with extensions to enhance privacy, so when uBlock gets blocked eventually, the world will keep turning and only on forums like MalwareTips people will be talking about it. But we are less than a fraction of the world population using smartphones, tablets and PC's, so to quote a famous movie (Gone with the wind) "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn". [/QUOTE]
