End of Year Update Time
Iām feeling pretty good about my personal security. I know that 100% security is a myth but I feel relief, even if itās not perfect. The transition to utilizing the tools on a daily basis was slightly difficult but Iāve learned to really enjoy all the tools and process. Again, this is coming from a normal consumer and not a security expert.
š NordVPN is a solid option. Easy to integrate into all my computers and phone. Fast, easy, and safe. I did consider add it to the router but having a VPN on the router could be a bit overkill IMHOā¦ but it is on our smart TV! :P
š 1Password was the hardest transition but it has been such an amazing tool. Easy to integrate and I donāt have to think about account stuff since itās all there. Iāve literally auto-generated passwords for all my accounts.
š DuckDuckGo gives me nearly on par results as Google. Iām a developer so all of my results will be 90% Stack Overflow.
š FireFox did really well for awhile. I added in a few extension to help with blocking data to Facebook and organizing cookies. I still use it from time to time but itās not my daily browser anymore.
š Laverna hasnāt been used much. Iāve been using mainly a notebookā¦ the old pen and paper. Iām noticing a better understanding of project deliverables when I handwrite them.
š Brave is now my go-to browser for both desktop and phone. Built on Chrome so the dev tools work well and all the extension work perfectly. I just started using Brave Rewards for giving back to content creators, but I donāt have much to say about that feature yet. I recommend checking out Brave for security and personal data protection.
I think everyone should do this. I know marketers are like.. huh? but Iām ready to discover the next level of the internet without getting destroyed by ads everywhere.
