And this is exactly why getting line breaks right is important. You didn't understand MenuDigger's post at all, did you?
Oh I got it and no matter how you line break it or try to flow it, its a justification. By any name, still a justification and foolish. I want to add why I see it as a justification and not the benefit of doubt you gave it. Telling people that Tails and Tor protect you against such things as this is horrible and false advise. The fact is that while they protect YOUR CONNECTION, they do NOTHING for what an extension gathers on you in the browser. You can VPN your ass through a thousand endpoints and means NOTHING. Read the fine print on TOR where they tell you that being STUPID is still going to leak your privacy.
Haven't you seen how I respond to those who write drivel on this board?
Oh I have adopted a policy of just ignoring idiots but I also don't think they should be allowed to have one sided flow of anonymous bullshit without being called on it. Call it a flaw of being a Marine, I can't just swallow crap and say thank you. Additionally, your claim that the overt promises of one security tool are not to be taken seriously but saying that other tools by all means go all in is just dumb advise. Especially that TOR has been breached repeatedly, consistently and for many years with the full knowledge of the TOR project and they have done jack about it, so where is the security there that we are supposed to believe will mitigate this? Apples and Oranges and Bananas here. The only thing in common is that they are an unreliable clusterfuck of promises and little action in reality - aka fruit.
Even if that means being seen as mean, rude - what I like to call - being BLUNT and brutally honest. That makes it hard to be liked but if someone can't appreciate the value of honesty, then their loss. You want security, you have to do it yourself, not ask someone else to do it for you and when they take advantage of your trust, act like you knew better, bullshit. I don't sugar coat and bad advise is worse than disease.
