"Information source?"

I hate to be that person that says to go use a search engine but if you check

if your social security number was involved."

and somehow they seem to get away with it. Prism.

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] IceCat browser default on Windows 7?

2016-12-28 Thread awakeyet

Oh Come On. if you use IceCat on windows for privacy benefits of using a better 
browser it's completely  and pathetically negated by the very fact that IceCat 
is running in an operating system who's very job is to spy the 
** out of everyone who uses it.
windows literally takes a picture of your desktop every 10 seconds to 10 
minutes and garbles it into a png file and sends it to microsoft. that's your 
passwords, your social security number, your entire life. tricking yourself 
into believing that you get any security related benefit out of using a good 
browser on a very very bad operating system is just plain silly. windows even 
lets you change privacy and security settings, but just changes them back for 
you later when you are not looking. look up prism. facebook, google, microsoft, 
apple (who claims to stand up to the MAN!), aol, yahoo, and a few others. they 
are a part of prism and literally just give the nsa whatever they want. wake up.

bleh... why would IceCat release on windows? that's like giving someone a 
bandaid if they need a doctor. the amount of hard work the devs do will be 
wasted on a release on a system that contradicts the very philosophical values
