If you want to harden Firefox, use ffprofile.com. It makes creating a custom profile very easy, and it should have good defaults. This should provide you with decent privacy and also allows you to remove annoyances like sponsored sites.

Or if you are lazy, use LibreWolf which, as far as I know, basically does just that, but preconfigured for you.

For addons, I would go with: uBlock Origin, CanvasBlocker, Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes.

Finally you can test your setup with Panopticlick.

You should consider switching your user agent. It is often used to track and identify you, by sending stuff like OS and browser version.

You can find a better explanation, and your current user agent here: https://whatmyuseragent.com/

I feel the same way. I switched to NewPipe recently, while degoogling my phone for privacy reasons, but I'm still using YouTube when I'm at my desktop. The recommendations are just better at finding new content for me.

I think he's saying that he just learned about av1 and made it his favourite video format. Like this perhaps: "How did I not know about this thing?".

Isn't chrome also based on chromium? I would argue they are equally bad, because both are proprietary.

Have you tried installing it with no internet connection? That's what I always used to do, to get a local account during installation.

I always synced my database manually either directly over usb, or wifi (KDE Connect). I have to admit that it's not really user friendly, but once I got used to it, it's no problem at all.

And uploading it to any cloud service should be fine as long as it's encrypted with a strong password. But that kind of defeats the point of an offline password-manager in my opinion.

Ironically, a frog would actually jump out of the water if its temperature slowly increases.

I guess you could say, that the official USB-C specifications are the "hardware manual".

I was also curious, so I found this page. It looks nothing like the screenshot (maybe because Im on mobile), and the only sentence coming close, under the "Extra online protection" heading, is: "Reduce online tracking by hiding your IP address". As if that means anything if you have Google apps installed on your phone.

But after reading more, I found a link to their how-it-works page, which then linked to their github page. Is beeing open-source really enough to show it's secure and private? I still wouldn't trust them.

If you own the car; I would say it's completely reasonable to modify it, as long as its still legaly able to drive after. In Germany your car needs to be regulary checked by TÜV to be street legal.

If this is legal probably depends on where you live, but I would be suprised if it's illegal in any developed country. (Im not a lawyer btw.)

I also have the same WMF peeler. It's really nice.
