What every browser knows about you

I forget if I've posted this before and I can't be bothered to double check at the moment -- but if I have, it's a good reminder now anyway to protect your privacy online with simple tweaks to your browser and browsing habits. For those working at public wifi spots (like a hotel lobby or a cafe), a VPN is always a good first line of defense but even then sometimes you are left open to insecure networks and protocols. On top of that, phishing and click jacking is still a big problem and your browser basically can help make those situations much worse by essentially giving away your information.

Here's a site that tells you everything your browser reveals about you to the internet.

Helium: A floating browser window for macOS

I think I've talked about this app before, but if you ever need a floating window (think Picture-In-Picture) on your Mac desktop, this is a reminder that Helium is probably the best option. Super easy to use and works on most major video platforms.
