Just out of curiosity, do you know of any paid browsers? All the ones
I can think of are free.

None of them are free. They are all dataminers. Personally,
I'd rather pay cash than have them selling my "profile" to crooks.

Is this just a wish, or _do_ you actually pay cash? (If so, tell us
which browser - that would answer Ken's question.)

It's a wish. I use a very hardened old version of Firefox. No
scripting, no Flash, no DRM, no video, no sound, no geolocation, no
canvas profiling, a variable Unique-ID, and it varies it's user-agent
string.
It's a pity I have to look at the source code of some webpages
to read them. A lot of sites are designed to only render if you hand
over your personal data.
I was excited by a new browser, but it turned out it checked
your ID online before it enabled "privacy features". Can't even
remember the name of the thing, but I had a good laugh at what
"privacy" means today.

If you do pay, are you _sure_ that the browser for which you're paying
isn't doing any such mining?

Which one is worse ?
Probably Chrome, but Firefox is not far behind.

If, after hearing my songs, just one human being is inspired to say something
nasty to a friend, or perhaps to strike a loved one, it will all have been
worth the while. - Liner notes, "Songs & More Songs By Tom Lehrer", Rhino
Records, 1997.

What, no beijos? As in "abraços e beijos"? I like both, but not
necessarily from you. No offense intended. ;-)

Yes, well, Google translate does not work for me anymore
either. Literally, it means "hugs", which is slang for "Cya" or
"later", whatever.
PS people SAY "abraços" over the phone, they don't do it
literally. Unless the OP is a hot chick and you are facing her in RL.
Then it would be impolite and politically unreasonable NOT to give her
an "abraço".

It's polite to give beijos to someone of the opposite sex when
you part either literally (one kiss for a Paulista, three for a
Carioca) or verbally. I'm Carioca. Note they are gestures, not "real"
kisses. You're supposed to miss and aim them somewhere in the
direction of the ears. Or just say "beijos".
Try it with someone of the same sex and you might end up in a
"Pronto Socorro". Though some women do give each other "beijos", it's
not very usual. Men never do.

"Hugs" would be the same number of characters (-:!

Maybe you allow third party scripting and GA datamining. Check
your security.

Does this page work for you ?
