So do you own this company or something? I've seen a similar comment at least 3 times in the past few days.

it's a scam, it's a shill account to spam and send you to a tracker wrapped in a twitter link.

And what does a tracker do? Track the websites you go to? Why would anyone care about this? I’m no tech genius.

Might be just AD tracking you (most likely), but could also be trying to scrape other login details and info. There are things out there that try to ID you behind a VPN. I didn't look too deep, just saw it was running crap it should not be.

Why would anyone care about this?

You should care about privacy: not about "having anything to hide" but about "not having anything to show."

You've probably heard about VPNs, just know that they are BSing you when it comes to hiding your private data beyond your location. Browser instances are incredibly unique, making building a profile attached to an identity linked to your browser to sell still possible. That's called "browser fingerprinting", and there's a lot of money there. Think of a VPN and fingerprinting as going to an anonymous masked party for famous people and you have a very recognizable tattoo on your neck...

The only browser I've stumbled upon taking fingerprinting seriously is The Tor Browser, and considering Tor's weaknesses (most notably exit points that can be owned by anyone, government included) I can't recommend it in good conscience either.

So what I'm getting here is, contact American Gunner and tell them we're not buying any of their stuff because they employ Chinese spambots for their marketing team.
