My question is that, because I don't believe it will stop, what should be our next steps? What software should we get now that can circumvent or make as much of this a nonissue as possible?
It's ironic that a security guide that claims to be thorough misspells Bitwarden (lowercase "w") and totally omits KeePassXC.
Holy cow, they promote Signal and Wire but not Matrix?* And they talk about disabling Microsoft Office macros without mentioning LibreOffice a single time? Where are their priorities?
Still, it's crazy that it recommends 1Password for its paid Travel Mode when you could achieve this for free yourself in a totally FOSS environment with KeePassXC. This list seems secretly sponsored. It recommends that women track their period with only local storage, but throws that out the window with cloud password services... Which is more important?!
Yeah, I've gotten different langs even when specifying en-us! Just rerunning the query through TROM Search to try up to a few other instances solves the trick, though.
Sometimes codes have worked for me, so I've certainly saved a few bucks. They probably just track IP, I guess; I can tolerate that. RetailMeNot is no longer a leader in my experience since there are so many other websites that have followed its style; I just now search, "X promo code," where X = the name of the company providing the good or service in question, and try the first few links.
You can always follow me in using something like NoScript to block all website scripts, and then guess at which ones to try to whitelist in the hopes of unveiling the code with minimal data leakage otherwise. Close any popups immediately.
