Btw, Brave browser now supports full sync - you can sync everything b/w browsers now - mobile/desktop. No need of login/registration.
It also comes with IPFS, Tor, BitTorrent, etc support.
Does not directly ping any Google service.
Perfect replacement of Google Chrome for both desktop and mobile

I'm working for a big tech company in California. Yesterday all employees received an email from our security guys.
We have to deactivate all personal assistant gadgets (like Alexa) during worktime in the homeoffice.
They have evidence that these gadgets are recording audio from conference calls.
Nothing new to me but notable that I've got this order.

For those who use the free version of LastPass, they’re going to limit your to just ONE device type starting in March. https://blog.lastpass.com/2021/02/changes-to-lastpass-free/
Best to switch to Bitwarden, 1Password, KeePass, or Enpass.
Better yet, self-host or go local storage!
