I'd actually recommend consent-o-matic instead of IDCAC. It actually selects the minimum concent for you instead of just hiding it.

EDIT: Ignore my blind confidence. CAD is (mostly) broken in recent FF versions. (See ivn's reply to this post).

Consent-o-Matic with Cookie Auto Delete and Firefox's Multi-Account Container tabs covers it all nicely for me.

Cookie banners get handled, cookies I don't explicitly want to keep automatically disappear when I leave the site/close the tab, and those I do want to keep can be given their own containers to keep them separated.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Cookie autodelete doesn't work with strict mode and you should use strict mode. Just drop it.

You don't need an extension to auto remove cookies with Firefox.

You're right. I'll be damned. That'll teach me to set-and-forget then not keep up with changes to Firefox and their effects on extensions. Thanks for the heads up.

Drop IDCAC and Privacy Badger, add consent-o-matic, sponsorblock and bypass paywall clean.

Check Arkenfox for Firefox config and extension recommendations.

https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions

Only use temp mails for unimportant, one-shot account, otherwise use an email relay.

It's insane how big a fight we have to put to JUST surf the damn Internet.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why drop privacy badger? It's been working well for me.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because it doesn't bring anything more than Firefox in strict mode and uBlock Origin.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

FF blocks Facebook et al widgets in strict mode now? This is news to me, news indeed. Thanks for the tip

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Not exactly.

uBlock Origin blocks the widgets (with the "EasyList – Social Widgets" blocklist, I don't remember if it's on by default). As would any other blocklist based blocked do like Privacy Badger, uBO is just better.

FF's strict mode has something called Total Cookie Protection that makes it so Facebook widget on site A cannot read the cookie dropped by the Fackebook widget on site B. It isolate 3rd party cookies for each website.

DONT use the "I Don't Care About Cookies" plugin. It was sold to Avast. The same company that stole users information and sold it ON A PRIVACY PRODUCT illegally for years causing them to get sued for 16 million. (slap on the wrist tbh)

Why would someone use that instead of uBlock origin cookie filter?

Its really best to keep browser extensions as few as possible for fingerprinting resistance

To OP/readers you're OK with extensions this would be a better pick imo (read installation instructions)

Privacy badger is not longer needed IIRC, its role is taken care by uBlock.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 month ago (1 children)

IDCAC should not be on this list since it was compromised, ABP-style. consent-o-matic is probably better but the most direct replacement is "I Still Don't Care About Cookies".

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Doesn't the "EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices" filter in uBlock's settings do the same thing as IDCAC / consent-o-matic?

UBO can block YT ads, no need to use a seperate ad blocker for YT

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Sponsorblock to auto skip sponsor segments, or even non music parts of music on YouTube. Or interaction reminders, or end credits, etc can make it a little bit how you want it

Why don't you download something like Voyager or Thunder from f-droid?

Phone settings > Private DNS > set DNS provider host name to dns.adguard-dns.com.

Problem solved.

ublock origin has a cookie notice and nag filter that removes those.

go into the settings and turn on the annoyance filters, they are awesome.

Ublock origin already has privacy badger and no cookies functionality. Worst case nothing gets blocked. Also slower internet for you.

What’s the upside down Z-Library icon in the lower left for YT?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Currently, it is recovering from attacks from Google. Only self-hosting works reliably at the moment..

Go into uBO settings and then filters and enable all the non-language filters. You won't need privacy badger or that cookie addon anymore.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Another recommendation for YT:

SponsorBlock

It is Community-Based. Ppl (like you) mark timecodes from sponsor ads and if toggled on those will be skipped. You can whitelist channels as well if you want to.

150% better YT-experience!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 weeks ago

If I'm going to see an ad, I do prefer sponsor ads over the injected YT ads. At least I can hope the content creators are getting paid directly for the ad.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

I’m not saying my setup is any better, but it currently looks like this:

  • Firefox
  • UBO
  • SponsorBlock
  • Return YouTube Dislikes
  • DeArrow
  • Archive.ph

I’m open to suggestions if anybody knows any better alternatives. I’ve had mixed luck with services that filter out YouTube’s crap.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

Be careful with using Privacy Badger and uBO together as it might get in each other's way. I had YouTube detect me having ad block until I paused Privacy Badger for YT.

NewPipe and FreeTube if you want YT subscriptions without ads

Addy.io or simplelogin for email account signups

Install the LibRedirect extension and fiddle a bit with the settings to automatically redirect to privacy respecting alternatives away from ad heavy sites.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Shift + RClick to force the browser's native context menu instead of triggering a JavaScript event.

Ctrl + Shift + E (and then perhaps Ctrl + F5) to see URLs of resources.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I have yet to see unpaywall workk ever. All that site does is link you to free versions if legally available. So it does nothing. Bypass Paywalls clean sometimes works, but if you want non mainstream sites going to archive.today is the most reliable option.

Dear god. My inner 90's kid wants this as a browser.

Firefox actually has their version of tempmail built in now.
