Extensions I use

(I use Firefox btw)

uBlock Origin - the best adblock, highly costumisable

uMatrix - now discontinued, it’s still a great tool to block scripts you don’t want on websites (like 3rd party cookies, facebook shit, etc)

HTTPS Everywhere - forces https protocol on websites, warns you when they don’t have it (you may or may not want this one)

Bitwarden - the password manager I use, in extension form. Really easy to use and open source

Traduzir Páginas Web - as I said, I use Firefox, and it doesn’t have a built in translate function. This does the job.

New XKit - my new baby. Making transversing this hellsite easier and more enjoyable

Palettes for Tumblr - I could probably use TamperMonkey to make the font monospace tbh

There’s Nowhere to Hide on the Internet

📌 March 29th, not too many hours after Congress approved legislation that allows Internet-service providers to sell your browsing history to whoever wants to buy it, a coder named Dan Schultz released a search randomizer called Internet Noise, which offers a way of veiling one’s real interests online.

There's a lot of talk about computer privacy, about keeping our data secure. Even if you feel like you have nothing to hide, you probably don't want your co-workers rooting through your personal data. Your web traffic is like a digital fingerprint. It reveals where and who you are, what you're searching, what you're reading, who you talk to, even what you are curious about. But your computer or your phone might be betraying you. It might be giving away your secrets.

Planet Money's Steve Henn wanted to know just how much someone could learn about him by just sitting back and watching his internet traffic slide by. So he invited a couple hacking experts to bug his internet connection for a week.

On today's show: What they discovered, and what that tells us about security, smartphones and the dangers of free WiFi.
