After all, I like their Android UI skin, their buttons on the back design, and I have been using an LG G2 as my main smartphone since October. I take every opportunity to demo the phone’s camera and screen to everyone I meet, and I have been patiently waiting for the G3 to hit the markets so I can upgrade, skipping the Galaxy S5, HTC One M8 and Xperia Z2 in the meantime....

Unfortunately, there’s no easy way yet to ensure total privacy through browsers, according to Dr. Lukasz Olejnik, an independent privacy researcher and consultant, who led a large-scale study in 2009-2011 that found web browsing histories can be used by online ad companies to fingerprint individual browsers over time. Researchers from Firefox-maker Mozilla emulated his study in 2020 with 52,000 Firefox users, which confirmed Olejnik’s findings.
