Secure browser for iPhone – we are testin it on our own mobiles
Data security and privacy have always been important. For example, the secrecy of correspondence or the encryption of messages. Another example is the drilling into children’s heads, “Don’t give your address to strangers, so criminals can’t easily come.” In the age of digitalization, secure data is a much broader concept, as it applies to data traveling around the world and collected by absolutely everything you work with. Knowledge and data, however, are the most expensive resources. You don’t have to have anything to hide, but you don’t stand at the busiest intersection in the city and shout, “I’m using iOS!” This is how the internet and every website or server you interact with sees you. Therefore, to prevent the collection of at least some data, it’s worth using browsers that block the collection of information about you and don’t collect it themselves. It’s worth taking care of
cybersecurity , because in the event of a single hack, we won’t be able to recover from some of the consequences for the rest of our lives, for example, spam mailing lists and email accounts.
