Thank you, I appreciate all your help.
Thanks for the tip.
True, but might as well put up a good fight while we're at it.
True, but things like banking and e-commerce are another very large part of the things people do on the Internet, and those are more likely to follow along than not.
Honestly I am in the same boat, but big banks still make a large portion of the banking system and I don't why the smaller banks wouldn't just follow along.
Thank you for the help I might just take your and others suggestions and start with my phone camera and go from there.
Wow thank you this is so much help. Like you suggested I might need to spend some time taking pictures with my phone camera or at least until I have a somewhat of a grasp of the basics. Thanks again.
It'll be next to impossible when those websites are your bank and Netflix etc.
Time to De-Google I guess. I will keep using Firefox and if or when I come across any website pulling this crap I won't hesitate to blast them to eternity. I suggest everyone else do the same please.
Google is actively trying to drive people like me away. I have been trying my hardest to keep using Android, if Google keeps this up I might have to unwillingly move to Apple. At least they do more than just pretend to care about their users' privacy.
Yes, but the idea is that because the code is open source anyone can look at it and determine on their own whether it is in fact safe or not. Generally speaking the open source community is very good at figuring this kind of stuff out but I would say your fear is not necessarily out of place since nothing is 100% guaranteed. That said though, the more popular FOSS apps are quite safe.
I already tried to install those, they're too old to even install. Thanks for the reply anyway.
