Each website must request and be granted by the user that explicit permission. Barring that, a bad actor would have to physically access your computer to install a keylogger (or I suppose one could be installed through a phishy attachment). Clipboard-stealing isn't anywhere near as big of an issue as cookie-/session-stealing.

    Plus, the product wasn't any cheaper, and the company was so unresponsive over a defective item that I had to literally sic the BBB on them just to get a reply. It was a terrible experience leaving Amazon and some of these stores literally only sell on Amazon and nowhere else. It's just really idealistic, though I continue to check anyway.

    Oh, the amount of actual crime is irrelevant and hypothetical; all I'm saying is that there would be so much energy put into sustaining a flying umbrella that it may as well be able to do multiple things at once to make it more worthwhile. We could equip it with lawnmower blades to make it capable of mowing lawns as well, etc.

    Unfortunately, a fair chunk of my convenience comes from the .NET runtime, but sure, removing the rest would be welcome. I highly doubt they'd bother to do this, though, because so many businesses with higher-tolerance older CEOs are fine with remaining on Windows...
