Episode description
Literally five minutes ago I updated to the new version of Safari, version 14. Then I browsed Forbes, hit up Techmeme, checked Twitter briefly, went to Fox News (first time, I think), clicked over to Slashdot, and finally read a story on ZDNet. Oh, and I checked for a picture for this story on Unsplash.
In that five minutes, Safari prevented 90 trackers from profiling me.
Let me repeat that. Five minutes, 90 trackers.
