Thnx Mr. D ( Polonus ).

But I would prefer - and recommend uBlock Origin : https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
Just to support - and to stay close with the original developer gorhill :)

Hi Asyn,

Interesting but privacy does not exist anymore. When on cheap half-baked security solutions on Cloudflare you do not have full end2end encryption and with your own certificate installed you are vulnerable to BEAST, sometimes also to POODLE and DROWN and what have ye., in case of a data-breach what can you say? Nameservers are grossly insecure. See my recent third party cold reconnaissance scan analyses and you will know the facts.

Well you could have better security from the Cloudflare boys, but then you pay twenty times as much and if you pay enough fill the ranks of special clients like Hamas and the IDF. Cloudflare itself has a complete surveillance capacity, is not transparant to end users and is harassing non-malicious tor and darknet users with hopeless captcha´s to fill out (Google does similar things). VPN does not help, chain proxies won´t help, now tor and darknet have to go we all have to surf in the nude  ::) Those that still remember the days on the Interwebs before 2001 will have experienced the changes. Big Brother is like the djin from the bottle, who can put him back in there.

Hi Asyn,

Time to update your iPhone or buy a newer model iOS.
The method seems easy soldering out the Flash chip and read it out.
You have direct access to that peripheral.
So do they need a software bug really?
It is all a big chunk of theater-play.

@all,

And our privacy is endangered on a daily basis and also by some popular  extensions we may have like (Better Privacy and Hide My Adblocker) from the Chrome Store. These extensions  were sold by the initial developer to hijackers, that fed the dev code  with likrus malware, that only will redirect now, but could do far more harm as a BHO later. And all this malvertising and product tracking is done more and more in the open and blatantly as Big Brother seems almost on the side of the malcreants. Seems the good guys cannot compete with the bad ones anymore, your browser leaks are sold to the highest bidder, while Privacy is dead.

Be aware my good security-loving  friends, fight the good fight and be vigilant and secure with Avast. :)

Yep privacy is good, not only can terrorists hide but also those that rip you of by not paying taxes

Apparently even their privacy isn't that private. :)

And we the end-users get an ever worsening deal set out before us. Now Rightscorp in assocation with your ISP  contemplates to come up with legit browser ransomeware in case you have made an infringement on their CopyRight laws. Your browser won´t function anymore until you have paid their fines. The Scalable Copyright Technology to do this has been developed by Disney Corporation. Always knew Big Media Corp was our best friend with our best interests at heart. ;D
If this is not a joke for April Fool´s Day, it is a frightening development.

The FBI has told local law enforcement agencies that it will provide technical assistance to unlock iPhones in criminal cases around the US when permitted by law.: http://www.cnet.com/news/fbi-to-police-well-help-unlock-iphones-when-possible/?ftag=CAD1acfa04&bhid=19917032625079717126003489967847
