Hi there,
So just watched latest video of Jim Browning and in the video he had a sponsor I had not heard about before, Guard.io. So I went to check it out, and it seems like a fairly decent service (by that I mean, a service I would put on family members devices) for helping against possible phishing attempt and general safeguarding online activity etc… I currently have installed Ublock Origin in their browsers and pointed their DNS to base.dns.mullvad.net
, but that’s about it.
So:
Thanks for any suggestions 🌻
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

Nope.
Not remotely private.
According to the PDF on their Privacy Policy page:
They collect a whole bunch of data on you. Including every site you visit. As well as every email and SMS you receive.
They then use and provide that “anonymized” data to any 3rd party they work with.
They target you with 3rd party ads (personalized content).
What a fantastic comment. Thanks so much for the effort.
Well yikes. I’ll stay far and wide away from this service. Thanks for taking the time to gather that information.
