Podcast Summary – Prepping Academy Podcast: “The Truth About Internet Browsers – Which Ones Keep You Safe?”

In this episode of The Prepping Academy Podcast, host Forrest Garvin breaks down one of the most overlooked areas of online privacy — your internet browser. Every click, search, and website visit leaves a digital trail, and your browser is often the biggest source of data collection, tracking, and surveillance.

Forrest compares the most popular browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, and DuckDuckGo — revealing which ones spy on you, which actually protect your privacy, and how to configure your browser for maximum anonymity. You’ll learn about browser fingerprinting, private search engines, extensions that protect your data, and the crucial settings every prepper and privacy-minded American should change today.

If you care about staying private online, blocking trackers, and avoiding Big Tech surveillance, this episode is packed with practical, easy-to-follow advice. Don’t miss this deep dive into the tools that keep your digital footprint off the grid.

Garvin was interviewd on the All Hazards Communications Preparedness podcast!Show Notes:Everyone with two eyes to see and two ears to hear knows how little (none?) privacy we have these days. Forrest Garvin, founder of Carolina Preppers Network and the newly formed PrepperNet organization is a computer security expert and former intelligence analyst. He’ll discuss various topics regarding Internet communications security (ComSec) including VOIP as well as various encryption techniques.If you not a true paranoid, you probably can’t do much if our behemoth federal government targets you as an individual. However, for 99 percent of the rest of the population, Forrest Garvin has some practical tips and techniques to share. Most of the practical stuff we’ll be talking about can be put to use every day and made into a daily routine, upping your survival chances and lowering your risk of being ripped of or spied upon by your enemy(s?).You might be thinking, during a SHTF scenario, there won’t be any Internet or even a dependable supply of electricity. That’s when you’ll dig deep into your homemade Faraday cage and pull out your fully charged handheld two-way radio to check into your local prepper group’s prearranged radio network using the SHTF radio 10-codes you were given. But what about real communications security via two-way radio? That’s one of the topics we’ll cover with Forrest Garvin during the Sept. 4 “All Hazards Communications Preparedness” podcast live at 9 pm Eastern every Tuesday on the Prepper Broadcasting Network.http://preppingacademy.com/Host: “David A.

Author Angery American / Chris Weatherman

Season 1 · Episode 10

Angery American / Chris Weatherman - Author/TV on the Prepping Academy - Where Preppers Unite!!!Some folks may know Chris Weatherman by another name though. Angery American. Chris is a successful author with more than a few novels under his belt. His “Going Home” series is a best seller and has many rave reviews online. Currently Chris lives with his family in Florida. He is an avid prepper and has been involved within that community since the early 90’s. He is well versed on medicinal plants and primitive survival skills.Now, on top of being a best selling author, Chris has also been on the History channels hit series “Alone.” So we will be briefly discussing his time on the show and getting his input on basic survival skill essentials, gear, and mindset.The bulk of the show we’re going to be discussing the prepper mindset. Chris’ novels do a fantastic job of catching the reality of what is likely coming. The gritty harsh reality of any SHTF scenario is something preppers, newbies and veterans, need to come to terms with. There are a lot of series, books, and Youtube personalities which don’t quite capture that. Perhaps they even sell a false sense of security, or romanticized vision of Prepper heroics.http://preppingacademy.com
