A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

I am on my browser a lot. I use VPN most of the time. Am blocking ads system-wide with DNS on all my devices.
I have like only 30-40 sites that I allow to save cookies. Any site that won't work without cookies is opened in a guest/temp profile, if I use such a site frequently it makes to the allowlist. Same allowlist principle is applied to the number of apps I install. If the service works well on the browser am not installing it.
I also use Jshelter and NoScript to allowlist Javascript, WebGL (farbled with Jshelter) and other browser properties. My browsers are mostly on a Javascript allowlist for my PC and on a denylist for my phone because I don't use it as much as my PC and am fine with the hardened levels on Cromite.
I self-host most of the services I constantly use (those that I can) and use community alternatives whenever I can just to avoid giving data/analytics to FAANG. That said I sometimes cheat with Twitter & Instagram (haven't opened this in forever) all on PWAs with a separate browser (Mulch).
It's a bit overkill but am safisfied with the level of control.
That browser setup is inspiring. Reminds me of a TOR Browser on steroids + VPN. May I ask you which VPN you prefer using?
The free version of ProtonVPN is sufficient enough for my use.
