What is missing from the web? We're asking for Google

Russia does not back American patriots. Commie-La yes,is backed by commies. Trump is a patriot who is risking his own money, rather than getting bribed by our enemies.

My cat poops in a sandbox

I do not trust Gurgle to build a privacy sand box or a litter box. IF THEY WANT TO BECOME ETHICAL, then their former motto "DON'T BE EVIL" would be a good one. They will probably be tempted to be unethical by sharing our secrets. My browser of choice is DuckDuckGo.

CrowdStrike file update bricks Windows machines around the world

Because CloudFart worked with the Hildebeast to claim Trump was a Russian agent, I made sure never to have it on my Windows 7 computers. About time they paid the price.

Microsoft is learning from Gooogle how to be EVIL. Internet Exploder was a virus entry, but Micfosoft edge is a spyware machine.

Microsoft deigns to fix five-year-old Defender bug that slowed Firefox

Firefox works great if you use Microsoft Security Essentials with real time protection turned off

I also use the Firefox derived PaleMoon. Every week or so I run a scan after updating Security Essentials but it never runs in the background . Security Essentials does not slow down my browsing. Spyware Blaster is updated once a month, which blocks known bad websites totally.

AVG is also running all the time to catch what it can catch. So far, so good with Windows 7. I bought a cheap Windowa 11 laptop, but do not like it, Would like to install Open Office 1.15, but Microsoft will not allow it. It is much better and cheaper than the Office 365 monstrosiy. Windows Store is a pain and they want to track me like Google. No, thank you. www.Oldversion.com is for me!

Singapore monetary authority threatens action on bank over widespread phishing scam

Avoid all online accounts

Popular password manager LastPass to be spun out from LogMeIn

GOOGLE ruined it on my phone and tablet and PaleMoon likewise in Windows 7

When I installed LastPass on my Adroid devices, it would not work unless I allowed all these trackers and adware things like Google. My privacy is VERY IMPORTANT TO ME, unlike to lying Gurgle and FaceBUTT. I had my PaleMoon browser pretty much locked down also to prevent most adware and spyware. They made it "better?" for them, so many of my previous addons that kept the bad guys off my computer do not work any more. I blame monopoly moneybags tech companies for this.

Luckily, my past installations of some addons, worked their magic on some of the mysterious inner workings of PaleMoon and are still blocking some bad actors.

GOOOGLE ruined them on Android, maybe on Windows 7, too.

I have my phone and tablet locked down so Gurgle cannot track me. LastPass wanted me to allow all these trackers and ad sites. I refused to allow access to all of them so it doesn't work on my devices. Then it stopped working on PaleMoon (for the same reasons?). LastPass is now pretty much worthless for me, because I care about my privacy. PaleMoon wants to share too much with nefarious tech giants, I'm afraid.

FaceBUTT wants its monopoly back

Your private information is very important to US. We don't want others to acquire it without paying us. Did not you read our Terms of Service? If you did read, and did not understand, you deserve to be spammed, scammed and swindled. That is why we change it all the time so the average trial lawyer cannot figure it out.

Google's Privacy Budget doesn't add up, says Mozilla CTO, amazingly enough

Fix network printing or keep Windows secure? Admins would rather disable PrintNightmare patch

Buy some wires

It will print if the printer is directly connected to the computer. Apple had the same problems in the past. Look at the back of the printer and see what type of connection there is and plug one end of the cord in there and the other into the computer. It works flawlessly. Do not connect through Twatter, FaceBUTT or Gurgle, let alone Citrix AWS, or any other third party. It is much safer and likely to work.

Then have a pint

Norton dodges UK courts after telling Brit watchdog it will be nicer to consumers

Spamware

I got a firewall on purpose to keep Norton and Avast from spamming me . Some newly bought computers have a trial version that wants to connect to a spam generating server in Croatia or Nigeria or somewhere. McAfee is even more annoying. Put the firewall on before activating the computer, because Microsoft and Google are also bound to help fill up your bandwidth with useless rubbish or worse.

What is worse? Your box turns into a bot for viruses or sends out smut. I use a crapware cleaner on a new computer, too. Make sure that this cCleaner never connects to the internet, by blocking outbound connections otherwise it turns into a bot.

TikTok no worse than Facebook for privacy, says Citizen Lab (although Chinese TikTok is a horror)

BAD to the bone

If you understand face-BUTT terms of spying , just wait: terms change to be worse. They will share all about you with the most evil people amd organisations in order to track you.and if you don't like it, tell the Southern Poverty HATE Center.

Ad blocking made Google throw its toys out of the pram – and now even more control is being taken from us

Re: Keep on AdBlocking

I agree with your options as the way to go.

Avoid Gurgle as much as possible. They really are evil now.. Do not track me, Bro'! They are even practicing censorship of good guys.

Once I searched my hard drive and found and deleted everything Google, Doubleclick, etc. Computer stopped working. It was all linked together like mycelium of a fungus spread into my drive.

Another hint: : Try using Spyware Blaster. It helps prevent as well as remove trackers.

Someone made an AI that predicted gender from email addresses, usernames. It went about as well as expected
