I think I'm ok on each of those points, worst case might be doing something to receive spam email (rare, and never opened). "VPN's are] biggest scam on personal Internet users since AV software...!" That confirms my impression! But I'm aware that now 20 years after I was responsible for keeping up with stuff, what I know may be outdated.

I assumed posting anything through TOR will put you on a government list since many of the exit points are in Virginia. So I've avoided that. It probably is best-available for a whistleblower, spy, reporter, whatever, who needs real anonymity.

Remember when the "NSA_key" was discovered in Windows ?....after all the controversy they (MSFT) just renamed it...!!!

LoL...google is a much bigger threat to personal privacy than any government alphabet outfit...:laughing:

Agree. And for some who blabber personal stuff too much, Facebook is even worse. If that is possible.

Lots of "403 Forbidden" messages only been happening for a few days now.... Using Chrome and Adblock on a PC... Hate to think I have to change browsers when it works fine on all my other roving around web.... Have to believe something is amiss in TBN software (linking)........

403's reappeared yesterday.

Purging TBN cookies and cached data again, cleaned it up. For now.

Bah, 403 again. Refresh gave me a page with different profile (appearance) than usual.
Refresh again came back looking normal.

Could the 403's relate to profile and not to missing posts?

Returning a half hour later, two more 403's.

If you don't think that "people" are not trying to figure out how to stop or at least screw up browsers that are running Script blockers.... Think again.
