#386: Do you realize that they are watching you? Protect your online privacy
David Bombal
Online Privacy Tools
Summary: Naomi Brockwell recommends Brave Browser, Brave Search, ProtonMail, and ProtonVPN for enhanced online privacy. She emphasizes that VPNs are crucial for shielding IP addresses and online activity from websites and ISPs but cautions that VPN providers themselves have access to user activity.
Insights:
- VPNs are useful for protecting your IP address from websites and your activity from ISPs, but the VPN provider will still see your activity.
- It's better to trust one entity with your data than to spread it across multiple websites, minimizing risk of data proliferation.
- Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are known to sell user data, so using a VPN adds a layer of privacy.
Proper Nouns:
- Brave Browser: A privacy-focused browser recommended for improved online privacy.
- Brave Search: A search engine accompanying Brave Browser that aims to protect user privacy.
- ProtonMail: A secure and encrypted email service designed for online privacy.
- ProtonVPN: A VPN service recommended for protecting online activity and IP addresses.
Research
