I usually use Brave, with Firefox as a second choice. But I was too lazy to tweak my NoScript on Firefox to see what I wanted so I popped open my factory setting Chrome for a quick look at the news site that objects to the ad blocked Brave.
After I shut it back down, the hard drive was going wild and something was eating my CPU cycles - obvious signatures of a virus because nothing was open under Applications on the Task Manager. Tracked it down in Processes, killed it, and then looked it up.
No more Chrome for me. Because of its automatic execution of unwanted spying, it is obviously a spyware virus.
Yes, I understand.
I use NoScript on Firefox. It helps.
Often still have to shut down Firefox with the process controller and clear cache and restart the browser.
Recently have had trouble trying to update software on this version of Debian. Am considering reinstalling the OS. Might even try OpenBSD this time. At one time it was one of the most secure. I really like XFCE and whatever I decide on for the OS will have it installed.
