    Using a scam to detect scams so that they can scam you better themselves. Lovely. I’m so glad I don’t use Chrome.

        Websites you visit can port scan your entire network bypassing most firewall rules and NAT. Your phone tracks your notifications and keystrokes and builds data models from both.

        People love it though. Or they hate technology. Anything but hating corporations and the rich that gives them that sweet sweet dopamine
