Give me a rundown on the importance of privacy.
Why should I care if the NSA knows about my hentai collection?

Humans are always looking to fuck over other humans.
The more material they have on you, the greater the leverage they have to do so.

Here's the biggest thing from my standpoint.
History has shown that any computer system, given enough effort, can be compromised. Be it through bad design, bad implementation, or just some fuckhead leaving an important password in an easily accessible place. Systems get compromised all the time because of one of these effects and government agencies are NOT an exception. It happened recently when someone discovered a bunch of CIA hacking tools on a random server because some contractor left them there.
So there is the issue. All of your personal information isn't 'safe'. If someone wanted to, your information on these NSA servers can be compromised from an outside source and then leaked all over the internet. What then?
Yeah, right now, you've got anonymity in numbers. There is so much data that yours is probably in some massive catalog somewhere and it is possible that someone may never really look at it; however, the possibility of it being compromised still exists.

This is part of "Google thinks Symantec's certificates are invalid" drama, this is not a problem on Intel's side and it should work on any other browser than Chrome
HAPPENING NEW VAULT 7 CIA LEAK
https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/847749901010124800
>RELEASE: CIA Vault 7 part 3 "Marble"
>today, March 31st 2017, WikiLeaks releases Vault 7 "Marble" -- 676 source code files for the CIA's secret anti-forensic Marble Framework. Marble is used to hamper forensic investigators and anti-virus companies from attributing viruses, trojans and hacking attacks to the CIA.
>Marble does this by hiding ("obfuscating") text fragments used in CIA malware from visual inspection. This is the digital equivallent of a specalized CIA tool to place covers over the english language text on U.S. produced weapons systems before giving them to insurgents secretly backed by the CIA.

wow it's fucking nothing
why not just install marshmallow on your laptop separately, or better yet gentoo
>>59669271
Something like this already exists but with Windows phones and Raspberry Pi (also other ARM forgot how it's called).
it's not really that good, better get normal laptop already with proper CPU.
Only Edge and Safari make any kind of attempt at being performant at all. Everything else is slow as dicks. IE9 was fully hardware accelerated back in 2011 and yet no one has bothered to play catchup in anything other than meaningless synthetic javascript benchmarks which in reality is a tiny fraction of what slows browsers down.
And in todays privacy compromised internet, doing things the same way they were done in 2002 just isn't good enough. A truly modern browser should have built in cookie management, and not just allow any site to set cookies willy nilly. Tabbed browsers have destroyed the concept of a session the way it was in the old single window days that session cookies were designed for. With tabbed browsers session cookies carry across many sites for long periods of time. It's up to the browser to redefine what a session is. To implement proper cross domain and cross tab protection so that the cookies that are allowed cannot track the user easily.
It should also provide its own blocking functionality, it's no longer OK to rely on extensions for this essential privacy feature. Again, only IE9 attempted something like this and it was never replicated. I think it's because IE was the only browser that was selling Windows to the user, instead of The User to the corporations. And didn't need to cave to advertiser pressure. (Ever wonder why IE suffered so many smear campaigns?)
Caching locally and permanently the most common third party scripts and fonts is a great idea only implemented in a firefox extension. That is a cache that really should be standard to prevent a lot of snooping by those networks.
Pop-up blockers are also simply stuck in the early 2000's. They can't catch most of the modern on-click popups and scripted in-page popups. No attempt, even by extension makers, has been made to fix that.
Where did it all go wrong?
on windows 7 i use ie half the time.
as for mac i am gonna start using safari more because chrome is buggy as fuck.
Maybe something miraculous like Discord could happen to the browser 'market'? Then again with all the fishy financing I'm not sure if I would trust such a browser.
Everything you said is already supported by major browsers.
You can disable all cookies in every major browser.

I'm looking for a good data recovery program for iOS and android. Can anybody recommend something they had success with? I tried a few free programs but none of them seem to work and I don't want to spend 120$ on a program if it doesn't even work.

>Within days of Congress repealing online privacy protections, Verizon has announced new plans to install software on customers’ devices to track what apps customers have downloaded. With this spyware, Verizon will be able to sell ads to you across the Internet based on things like which bank you use and whether you’ve downloaded a fertility app.
>Verizon’s use of “AppFlash”—an app launcher and web search utility that Verizon will be rolling out to their subscribers’ Android devices “in the coming weeks”—is just the latest display of wireless carriers’ stunning willingness to compromise the security and privacy of their customers by installing spyware on end devices.

where on keypass can you store your basic info like your name, address, and credit card info?
>>59668875
You create a new "card" and then inside that write the important shit.
Just one big password to remember them all.
It's a pretty good program i love the password creator thinghy magigghy very handy
>>59668875
You don't know your name, address, and credit card info?
>>59668875
Why? Do you regularly forget your own name or address?
How often do you buy something that it would warrant not just quickly looking at your credit card?

Look at this. Look at what YOU, """the people""", have allowed to happen. Indeed, from the smouldering ashes of SOPA & PIPA hath arisen a new Daemon, one so strong and so overbearing that not even the proud forces of GNU/EFF can injure it.
Have you not any shame? Your reliance on the proprietary and the money you freely let corporations take from you have led to this. Has the Way of GNU not taught you anything about self-sufficiency? Truly, you have strayed from the Path.
Reflect on your actions and await your impending doom. We tried to warn you, but your self-absorbed minds simply could not comprehend the wisdom in Our words.

I bet you posted this using Linux with a browser but aren't even disabling tracking cookies like Google Analytics or New Relic and are letting people sell your browsing history ignorantly anyway.

I use icognito mode. There is no history.
White Americans are trash and the faster they kill themselves with opiates, alcohol, and guns the better off we'll all be.
My only concern is that overall they're a leech class, all those mining towns are just towns where the government pays honkeys to shoot up and beat their wives, and fuck them, when they're not too drunk.
Thus creating more little cumskins to further pollute the world.
so idk,
