Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

What sites have looked like over time

What sites have looked like over time

You are probably interested in what Youtube, Google, Yahoo, and Facebook looked like… From its founding until today. No, you won't see a bunch of slow-loading images and you can't see the whole site.

What I am writing about now is an Internet archive that contains over 390 billion web pages that have been recorded since 1996! The best thing about this archive is that you can see the entire site in its entirety with all the links, images, clips ... complete content.

You can also choose the year, month, and even day to see what a site looked like at the time.

First, you need to go to the site archive.org and in the field at the top of the page type the address of the site and press enter.

You will now be redirected to one page where the calendar is located.

As you can see in the pictures, you can choose the year and month above, and on the calendar, the day.

Note: You can only click on the days marked in blue because there is only information about the site for those days.

Which site did you check? How do you feel? ;)

To click on the post or not?

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.
