    @ techmenace That's for when you're going paranoid lol.
    Social media only has access to what you give them.
    1 web browser is all you need, if anything go into private browsing mode permanently.
    All in all your steps seem a bit too extreme to just prevent seeing ads. Adblock does that with a simple 5 second install.

    So what ?? as long as we don't get spam there is no real big issue,.. and spam is generated by various other means...

    Many people See the internet as free and should be ad free,. but just like print media, radio and tv advertisements pay the bills..
    Selling Ads is what got Google and many other sites to where they are now,.. So Blocking Ads to me you are slowly killing the Internet..

    not paranoid
    I just need my privacy
    i should have a right to give persons my info, not have it taken without my knowledge or permission
    not everyone is tech savvy so they put their entire lives online and later it comes back to haunt them

    No need to be tech savvy, a person just needs to have common sense. You post naked pics of yourself online or make some foolhardy statements you really deserve the fallout.

    Friend has laptop that he was gonna give bestbuy to fix for hundreds of $$$.
    I ask whats wrong with it, since he seems to be using it fine.
    Dude locked himself out of his admin account and using limited.
    That ofc means can't install or change a darned thing. A prisoner on his own pc.
    And he can't remember password to account.
    I said ok lemme use my flash drive and fix that for you.
    Dude had disabled the usb ports.
    Umm..ok...I'm sure I can find or make a dvd...
    Dude had intentionally damaged his disk drive (wtf)
    Ahm..ok lemme check the bios...
    Dude had set a different password on the bios and forgot that too...
    So something that should've been an easy fix took much much longer because of security freakyness.

    Some people in the pursuit of security make fools out of themselves. Not @ you TM, plenty people with limited common sense out there.
