  1. Thanks for letting us know, honestly I didn't know it was a thing but it sounds super important. Like, what kind of people would sell browser data :/ this is an outrage!!!!
  2. Everything for money I guess :confused:

    Thanks for the PSA! I don't use the plugin though (fortunately)

  3. Google lie way harder. But it doesn't matter, because they're not really discreet about it at this point. People will use their stuff anyway.

    Uninstalled. Now to look for alternatives lol

  4. So.. Is Apple's Safari 'safe'?
  5. As long as the plugin isn't installed on the browser, it's safe (at least from this company) :)

  6. this is not a default plugin on browsers. It's something people installed to help them know about a websites trust level.

  7. A world were nothing is sacred. My data, your data....It's like everyone's data is just out there in the cyber space.
  8. Only plugins I use are McAfee (comes with subscription) and uBlock Origin for all dem ads.
  9. This thread is a classic example of why I love this server so darn much. We (as a community!) spot problems, we share them amongst us and then we all (staff and users alike) do our best to help spread the news (provided that it's important of course). <3 you guys :)

  10. I went to my Chrome Plugins and could not find Web of Trust. Is it hidden more deeply or do I not have that on my computer?
  11. You would have to manually install it.

  15. oh snap i think i have that plug-in, how would i remove it? (im using opera)
  16. Control-shift-E gets you to your extensions (or use the menu option), from there you can disable and remove it.
