So let's say you're pretty well set for browser privacy by using a browser like Firefox or Tor, then installing HTTPS Everywhere and other plug-ins, using NordVPN and so on, but then you visit YouTube or the Play store and are logged into your Google account. At that point, do all the privacy...

So last night my ten-year-old niece was showing me her new HP laptop. She logged into her Microsoft account and started showing me Roblox, an M$ kids' game she plays with her friends. She then showed my her vocabulary assignment in Word. I had never heard of Roblox, much less played it, but when...

I recently installed ScriptSafe for Chrome, but find that I have to allow many scripts or even disable it for most sites to load into the browser, which defeats the purpose of having it. Can someone explain why this is and how I can still protect myself from javascripts?

I will soon be moving into a new house in which I'd like to switch from what I presently use, multiple computers in multiple rooms, to have a single server (with back-up), which I can access from several rooms. In each room I would like to simply have a display, keyboard and mouse, if possible...

My old APC UPS no longer keeps my PC and display running when there's a short circuit or momentary power dip, which happens a lot where I live, so I want to replace it--especially with hurricane season coming. Here's what I plug into it: 1) An Alienware Aurora (big-ass powerful PC)...
