Security writer - privacy and device hardening

Marcus writes bluwarden's privacy and device-hardening guides. He spends his time in the weeds of browser internals, mobile platforms, and the settings vendors would rather you left alone - then turns what he finds into steps a non-specialist can follow. His rule: no hype, no fear-selling, just the handful of changes that move the needle.
