  • Thanks for your reply. I am a Vivaldi user myself currently after trying numerous browsers over the years. I was trying to reconcile in my mind what am I giving up in terms of privacy for my choice. I do tend to lean on and learn from other more knowledgeable myself. I do have a few privacy related extensions installed. But you touch on something there that extends further than personal privacy but Googles influence on web standards, good one.


  • Yeah I could google it but sometimes I also like to converse and ask questions. Hence why we’re here. Thanks for explaining, I have prior understanding of what most you mentioned, Im just hazy how it relates to browser choice since you can block with extensions on most if not all browsers. So if someone is using any chromium based browser, you info is still going to google or is that exclusive to Chrome?






  • Pleading ignorance here and genuine questions. Is anyone, within the context of browsers able to define privacy and what it is that FF does that is superior to other say, Chromium based browsers? And what the real world effects are of not using FF for the purpose of privacy? Either reply or point to sources on the Web would be much appreciated.










  • I actually built a PC for a mate with almost exact same hardware a couple of weeks ago. Temps were perfect from get go and this time round I used stock thermal paste from the cooler.

    Unmount and clean off thermal paste. Reapply thermal paste. Carefully place pump back on thumb tightening each screw in a star shape. Do a few turns per corner to ensure even pressure. TBH, I didn’t really know when to stop screwing as it didn’t feel like it was getting tighter to an end point and I was also being aware of overtightening too. From memory, I think I did maybe 12-16 turns of each screw? Good luck!
