  The asleep will continue to feed those big corps with their blood. The rest of us will move to other solutions. That is life.

  Neutral like electricity. It is a force that can be used for good or bad. Google is trying to harness that energy for its own profit and control. I wasn’t referring to the structures created to administer it. That is another can of worms.

  Fully agree, I was just trying to keep it relevant to Google. All that shit needs to be dropped. As people realize that rather than free, all that shit is really expensive, maybe they’ll make a move.

  the 10% sounds like bait. Once they’ve got everyone on board and things are running smoothly (for them), it will be muuuch harder to resist.

  I like your tude dude!

  Everyone is whining while still holding on to big corps balls.

  And what happens when they decide to revoke that 5-10% after they got everyone onboard?

  Not the Internet, that is neutral. It is only one large corp that is trying to control the Internet. If everyone boycotts them, then they will fail.

  Yeah, I was thinking of browser PM with auto signin. But I’m dropping all that now. I wonder why these privacy and security focused browsers like Brave include options like this if they are bad for users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Password manager of cookies?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is what I was doing before I switched to cookies for convenience. I will be going back to this now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Password manager of cookies?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, I will be deleting all cookies and using my desktop keepassxc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Password manager of cookies?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for your response. Points 1 and 2 would be the same if I used an in browser password manager. I backup all passwords on my desktop manager and my laptop is pretty hard to break into. For point 3, do 1st party cookies track people? I thought they were mostly benign and for site settings.

  Also there’s no reason for using a VPN as the VPN provider will see the exact same thing as your ISP.

  This is not true for Tor Browser.

  And for regular VPN’s that depends on how hostile your ISP or government is. It may be much better to let some company in a far away country who don’t care about what you’re doing to see your stuff.
