what advantages does it bring you? it's downstream of chromium so you'll be waiting longer for security patches, and it's unique selling point is adblocking by default... except for brave payments that's just a indirect way of selling the same marketing information but of a specific demographic that thinks they've opted out of tracking i'm waiting for another red flag to be hidden in the next post at this point

I use chrome on desktop.

Yep the content blockers in iOS work pretty well. I used to VPN to my home network which was running PiHole as another layer of blocking, but I stopped bothering because there are few ads that get through any more.

By the way, Purify was found to be sort of bad. Consensus has been to use Firefox Focus if you want free, or 1Blocker if you don't mind paying.

Consensus has been to use Firefox Focus if you want free, or 1Blocker if you don't mind paying. Thanks for the heads-up. I've been using it for like two years, and I didn't do a ton of research first. I don't mind paying as long as it's not like $20, so I'll look at both.

I had somebody try to reset my old, dead Facebook account password, probably because it was old and dead and they hoped the e-mail would bounce so they could convince support to let them have it.

Yes, please install this trojan and make an anti-virus exception for it. Clearly there is no way that an attacker who knows you are part of the flight sim community could use this against you. No way at all... EDIT: Also this is the first thing a guy making a crack would remove prettymuch leaving only legal users with this bundle of joy.

Absurd Alhazred posted:Couldn't they get in trouble with Microsoft if their installer is signed? A signed installer which doesn't present you with a warning when you run it tells you that: a) The installer was signed by the person who has control of the private key to the certificate that signed it. b) The installer has not been modified since it was signed. You won't get into trouble from microsoft per-se unless they are signing the installer as microsoft... otherwise, the trustworthiness of a given installer author is, regrettably, still partially left up to the judgement of the user that is installing the app (or at least the judgement of the certificate authority that got paid to issue the code signing cert) That said, certificate authorities (*shudder* verisign, etc) might revoke the cert if it's blatantly doing shady poo poo. I don't know of a situation where MS has revoked a cert that wasn't theirs (i.e. one that got compromised)... AstuteCat fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Feb 19, 2018 |

The users on their forums are incredible. The amount of mental gymnastics they need to overcome is honestly amazing. “I’ve got nothing to hide.” “I’m not a pirate so this doesn’t affect me.” “They said this is only used against pirates, so I’m fine.” “Who cares if they steal your passwords, are you afraid they’re gonna log into your pornhub account?” My favorite one was a guy claiming he was in the cyber security field and (paraphrased): “I don’t see any technical issues here because it only steals your passwords if you’re a pirate. Ethical issues yes, but not technical. Everything is fine.”

quote:3) If such a specific serial number is used by a pirate (a person who has illegally obtained our software) and the installer verifies this against the pirate serial numbers stored in our server database, it takes specific measures to alert us. "Test.exe" is part of the DRM and is only targeted against specific pirate copies of copyrighted software obtained illegally. That program is only extracted temporarily and is never under any circumstances used in legitimate copies of the product. The only reason why this file would be detected after the installation completes is only if it was used with a pirate serial number (not blacklisted numbers).This method has already successfully provided information that we're going to use in our ongoing legal battles against such criminals. Is this them potentially admitting to a crime?
