I’ve been a two browser person for over 20 years. It might not be for everyone, but I do all my browser activity that has an information risk (banking certain types of ordering, health access, etc.) on one browser with a specific security profile to protect those sessions, and all my other browsing on a FireFox variant locked down with NoScript, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, etc.

This means that I always reach for the properly configured tool when doing something online, and attempts at phishing have one more hurdle to clear. Default browser points to a fully locked down profile, so any stray clicks will do minimal damage. Sites I know are sandboxed and not allowed to access anything on the rest of the Internet.

This configuration isn’t for everyone, but I’ve been on the Internet for over 35 years and still seem to have a reasonable amount of privacy and security.

I doubt it. ESL readers sometimes have a better grasp of English grammar in general but can miss minor nuances that make a turn of phrase obvious to a native speaker but confounding to anyone else.

Why is Israeli in quotes everywhere? To call into question whether the current government actually represents the people?

You seem ultra-focused on “these people will always vote conservative.”

That has absolutely nothing to do with my original question or my point.

The conservative mindset says “support the group no matter how unlikable the representative.”

That doesn’t automatically lead to “oh, Poilievre? That likeable guy?”

This possibly suggests the poll was badly framed to trigger a “likeable is the most loyal reply “ response, but it doesn’t guarantee it. I want actual information. Because if that’s all it is, the question framing was flawed. If it isn’t… something else is going on.

Why not deport them?

That still doesn’t make him likeable.

Yeah; but voting for the party and considering Poilievre a likeable person are two VERY different things.

Fourecks was my favourite Discworld continent.

What happens if it doesn’t? It was already unauthorized, and there are penalty signs posted.

36 per cent describe him as likeable.

Wait… what? Are these people who have been following what he says and does?

Maybe it’s the cameras themselves that are the privacy concern, hmm?
