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)
Why would someone use that instead of uBlock origin cookie filter?
Not using the addon, but I simply didn’t know uBlock can do that.
No, use consent-o-matic, which is even configurable and thus better in every way.
You fools. You absolute buffoons. Clearly you should be using the open source, free (beer) web browser I cooked up in my basement
no thanks i’m not a fan of webkit

I’d actually recommend consent-o-matic instead of IDCAC. It actually selects the minimum concent for you instead of just hiding it.
What’s the upside down Z-Library icon in the lower left for YT?
Invidous
Currently, it is recovering from attacks from Google. Only self-hosting works reliably at the moment…
Idk it’s not NewPipe or Grayjay
Sigh
Invidious hasn’t been working for most of this year, so this doesn’t seem like a 2024 guide.
Download jerboa
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.
Very easy for a majority of people.
As an alternative, for those who want to dive in or have more control: Self host PiHole or AdGuard Home DNS. Either use WireGuard VPN and set the DNS manually, or setup a DoT/DoH service. Either way works.
Rethink android app is also really good and extremely configurable.
Try out boost (for Lemmy), and if you like it there’s a small one time payment option to support the Dev and remove ads
Drop IDCAC and Privacy Badger, add consent-o-matic, sponsorblock and bypass paywall clean.
Check Arkenfox for Firefox config and extension recommendations.

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.
Why drop privacy badger? It’s been working well for me.
Because it doesn’t bring anything more than Firefox in strict mode and uBlock Origin.
FF blocks Facebook et al widgets in strict mode now? This is news to me, news indeed. Thanks for the tip
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.
Ok any tips on how to manage email addresses to minimize their exposure and spam?
Don’t give out your email to spammers. Most legitimate businesses might send quite a lot of mail, but it’s very often easy to unsubscribe so do that.
Don’t give out your email to spammers
No shit Sherlock. The real cause of spammers getting your email is through data breaches. The only thing you can do about that is not use your personal mail address for every single website you create an account for.
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.
I use https://ladder.nerdvpn.de/ and it works very well for me.

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”.
Doesn’t the “EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices” filter in uBlock’s settings do the same thing as IDCAC / consent-o-matic?
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.
Also FWIW you should care about cookies. That said, I use that filter in UBO but I’m wondering if using it is the same as hitting “reject all” or “accept all”? Does it even matter if you’re using Firefox and thus isolating cookies regardless?
Another recommendation for YT:
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!
archive.is or archive.ph is what I use for getting past paywalls. If it’s a hard membership paywall there won’t be much you can do about it. If it’s just a splash screen, they work by removing the annoying stuff that prevents you from going further since they have to package the content for SEO. The archive sites basically grab that content as if they were going to index it for a search engine, but then they present it in human readable format instead.
Shift+RClickto force the browser’s native context menu instead of triggering a JavaScript event.Ctrl+Shift+E(and then perhapsCtrl+F5) to see URLs of resources.there’s some good shit in these comments that I need to come back to later.
What is “No need YT ads” and the “Ctrl+P”?
Ctrl P is to print a page. The idea is you quickly press print before the paywall loads, so you can read the full article
