Mateusz Konieczny	3f4c51281e	there is no ensurance to be found ... using privacy declaring search engine is not ensuring that you are not logged - they could be lying (see numerous VPN providers claiming no logging and then leaking detailed logs) - something else can be logging (keylogger, IPS, hacker attacking search engine, shoulder browsing)	2021-11-17 11:54:04 +01:00

Mateusz Konieczny	16c80ab4c4	simplify, clarify emails and sensitive data ... using secure email provider and sending unencrypted email will not help at all personal info that is not confidential at all is not problematic, so "confidential or personal" is not necessary	2021-11-02 12:37:52 +01:00
Mateusz Konieczny	fb110fcb09	fix typo	2021-11-02 12:34:54 +01:00
Mateusz Konieczny	9b2aaf1ca4	put blocking ads higher ... It is very easy (on desktop at least), has powerful effects, doable by anyone. Also promotes using browser better than Chrome with upcoming defanging adblockers there, has anti-tracking included (in addition to blocking ads with tracking scripts)	2021-11-02 12:12:14 +01:00

Mateusz Konieczny	2b97b05200	with 2FA enabled backup codes are critical ... Especially if service has true 2FA, with no reset option vulnerable to social engineering It will be used rarely or never but given potential for massive damage and "Enable 2-Factor Authentication" at recommended it should be also strongly recommended	2021-11-01 16:10:39 +01:00
Mateusz Konieczny	5460d31d47	do not suggest to rotate all passwords ... Text itself limits itself to critical password, and recommending to rotate all passwords is not viable (as a datapoint: my password manager has over 300 passwords for online accounts)	2021-11-01 15:51:15 +01:00
Mateusz Konieczny	e20489844c	rewrite Tor recommedation a bit ... - fix typos - change "optimal security" to "increased security", in many cases it would not be optimal given how many things will break on Tor - link issues discussing tradeoffs In general I would make it more clear that it is not always worth doing. Maybe "Advanced" should be "Advanced, has serious tradeoffs" with word tradeoffs linking separate page documenting issues mentioned in #19?	2021-11-01 15:31:28 +01:00
