Unfortunately, it is a little bit expensive for me to support you through membership because of the dollar rate here (I wish I could just donate something every month). I find your articles AMAZING and I am learning a lot through them. I've followed your 5-day-course for privacy and it changed my view of everything. Also, I've already gone from DuckDuckGo to Vivaldi and I am currently using the free version of Proton Mail, VPN and Pass to enhance my privacy settings (too expensive to pay the pro version :-( ). Now I will disable autofill (I think it is ON on my Vivaldi). Thanks a lot for your work!

I've made a (very) small contribution as a way to say thank you. I'll try to make another a little bit bigger next month to support your work. Thanks for your work!

This article is sound advice to us busy users of tech to the value of our personal information. With two recent incidents involving international credit fraud on a family member I have actioned all recommended steps today.

It could’ve been far worse. I just think of the trauma of suffering identity theft!

Having acted on this with my own family, it’s now my mission to share this article to my extended family with urgency and to follow up with each person that action is indeed taken.

I so appreciate this advice Jason! Thank you.

So, is it too late? Been using Autofil for years. Do they already have my data?

While it’s possible, It’s not too late to prevent future exposure. Also this is only part of a system where you find stolen data, delete it and prevent future leaks.

Great post -- and great advice for people to take. A very slight sacrifice of convenience for a great risk reduction.

Not my personal favorite but better in my opinion than Chrome, just barely

Disappointing to hear that as thought privacy etc was good, according to reviews I had read. Maybe need to change🤔. Thanks for reply, appreciate it.

If you like it use it but I’m just giving my opinion and my personal preference. I like Brave browser and this Wednesday I actually have a new post coming out about a new browser I’ve been testing. It’s my honest review about the browser. You should be on the lookout for that
