Online Privacy

Tor
Technically, Tor isn’t a site – it’s a browser. However, it’s not any ordinary browser. By bouncing encrypted messages through a huge obfuscation network of computers, it’s able to make you anonymous and protect your privacy online. Best of all, it’s free, proving you don’t have to spend money to safely browse the Web.
Have I Been Pwned
This is a great site to see if any of your personal data and account information has been compromised or leaked by a data breach. There’s no need to register, enroll, or anything like that. Just search the site’s database by entering your email address. If you’ve been compromised, you’ll be able to see which data has been leaked, allowing you to take action and secure the accounts. It’s quick, easy, and most importantly, it works.
BleepingComputer.com
Computer acting up? Think it may have been infected with malware or a virus? If so, you should pay BleepingComputer.com a visit. This computer help website is the place to go for answers to any technical and security-related computer questions. From the latest security news to updated malware, ransomware, adware, and virus removal guides, you’ll find the technical support you need at BleepingComputer.com.
LastPass
Managing all of your passwords is tough. You know you’re supposed to use different passwords for different sites and change them periodically, but trying to keep track of them all can be downright impossible, right? We agree, but fortunately, LastPass can help. It’s one of today’s most popular password managers. With LastPass, you can generate passwords, encrypt them, and safely store them under lock and key. When logged into LastPass, you can easily log into other accounts without having to remember the passwords for each. Needless to say, it’s about time to throw the Post-Its away.
JustDelete.me
As its name suggests, JustDelete.me is a handy website for getting rid of different social media and other accounts with a minimal amount of effort and fuss. Have an old account for some shopping store you opened one Christmas season a decade ago? Do yourself a favor and visit JustDelete.me.
DuckDuckGo
Google is without a doubt the leader in search. Many of the Web’s largest companies have tried to go up against the “Big G” and failed. To say DuckDuckGo is a small company is an understatement. It’s a one-man band, yet it’s managed to become one of the most attractive and secure Google alternatives today. Rather than dealing and messing around with maps, email, social networking, and real-time results, it’s a simple, no-nonsense search engine with a no-nonsense privacy policy as well. Not only does DuckDuckGo have a strict no-logs policy, but it also anonymizes your searches for a truly private and secure search experience.
TOS;DR
Short for Terms of Service; Didn’t Read, TOS;DR is a cool project that analyzes boring, dry, and unreadable legalese (aka: Terms of Service notices) and transforms them into something much more readable and succinct. It’s great for anyone wanting to take an active role in overseeing the use of their data and protecting their privacy.
