Reply to Warning chrome browsers-please read entry 3 and follow the link to Manifest V2 support timeline. by maybeanotherday
I used Pale Moon years ago, then Firefox changed the architecture for extensions. For a while you could still use the old extensions from an external repo. I doubt that developers will program for Vivaldi extensions on a larger scale.

Anna’s archives are so cool. When those petabyte optical discs start coming out, you know what I’m going to be downloading.

Always check well what you want to use and read TOS and PP.

Actually, WorldCat would never do anything bad, because they're not a company and they work with libraries, which are good. Furthermore, I would never use sarcasm in a comment replying to a Raddle post.

I was more surprised that the machine remained intact.

What does your rss reader do with a firefox extension?

Reply to comment by itsalways1312somewhere in Reddit Age Bypass (firefox) by maybeanotherday
A matter of taste. I find the normal Reddit view clearer. Apart from that, I have a lot of RSS feeds from Reddit. Too much work to change everything.

That extension is unnecessary when you view reddit the way it was meant to be viewed: old.reddit

Reply to comment by maybeanotherday in List of useful pages and services to check privacy and security by Zerush
Also known, Ive hardened aspossible my system, but as say, it's always a compromise between being able to use the network properly and being filled with patches and not being able to access a large part of the pages, also at a speed much lower than that contracted for good money (TOR).
I2P, yes, too, but what can be found in a decentralized network that is useful for normal daily use? All this to prevent them from collecting data that I have already falsified without all this?
Privacy is certainly very important, but we must differentiate between sensitive and private data and merely technical data, protecting the first is vital, the second not so much.
We just have to prevent pages from adding unwanted things to our system or from logging our online activity to flood us with spam and worse, and this is not so difficult without having to strangle ourselves. The rest depends on the user himself, which is the biggest security hole, for entering sites without checking, clicking on accept without having read PP and TOS, who posts on Facebook even when he is going to piss (but naturally using TOR) to his 3967 friends, downloading torrents, opening attachments in a friend's email, being convinced that FOSS is automatically always secure and private... etc. (damn Dark Pattern). This is the problem, of not knowing where one can go and where one cannot.
100% privacy is shutdown the PC and reading a book.

I think best way for privacy is a vm with a lightwight linux Only synchronize the data you need for the web.Here is another page, perhaps a bit outdated. prism break - https://prism-break.org/en/

Well, it's right that 100% privacy don't exist, not even with TOR and VPN. Fingerprint is another thing, spoofing it is also an unique identifier, apart can brake some websites, better is to use an extension which randomize an fingerprint. Your simple e-mail adress is an unique identifier which can be tracked and other things which I know very well.
That is out of doubt, but the first step is to know your enemy and how he work and with which methodes try to track you, only then you have a chance, not to hide you, but to give him invalid informations, this is the sense of this list I put.
If i go to Browserleaks, it says that I have an unique Fingerprint, yes, but I've an different unique fingerprint in every visit, that is the point. It's not important that a web see which OS I use, which screen resolution, which browser engine or with my public IP in which country I live (if I don't use an VPN), because this are the same datas of millions of other users.
But it's about the crap to avoid, identifiers which a web try to put in our system to track us. This a modern browser can avoid with inbuild protections or extensions without problems (as say, if you don't use Big Brother browsers which tracks you by themselfs, Like Google Chrome, EDGE, Opera...), and naturally also search engines which don't log your activity (these from same companies and some others). Using VPN and TOR and searching with Google and posting in Facebook don''t serve.

Pretty much everything on here is already listed/explained in our wiki:
/w/Tor_index
/w/onion_index
Just seems kinda spammy for a brand new account that seemingly only signed up to promote their own page without even looking to see what was already around
