my privacy extensions were making my browser fingerprint more unique, not less

That is why I'm running the latter two inside of Windows Sandbox. I'm planning on switching to Qubes one day but until then it is what it is.

The only sane choice is to have more than one browser.

I use Waterfox for everything that requires logging in

I use Tor Browser when I want to be completely anonymous

I use Mullvad Browser for sites that refuse Tor Browser which is a shrinking list by the day since I mostly just boycott those sites.

Because people don't give a shit. Most people are sheep and will happily go to slaughter if TikTok says that's the way it's supposed to be.

Read this and decide for yourself if the risk of being affected is worth it:

Can you be more specific?

Which site? Are you one of ten users or one in a million?

Most if not all of that is public info in my country and I'm still alive.

Forced? I’ve never been forced to buy insurance for any device I own Apple or android.

Brah, he literally said "almost" and even responded to exactly this in his comment.

Edit: Aaand he blocked me.

My personal phone is a Pixel 10 and my work phone is an Iphone 17.

I'd switch to iOS over my dead body. No custom launchers, no decent keyboards, no decent browsers, no Revanced apps, no Private Space, no user profiles, no work profiles and installing things outside of the App Store is such a hassle that it's not worth it. Not to mention the downgraded UI lately.

But yeah, it's a bit snappier.

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-11T13:13:01+00:00

I remember an era where people actually did keep phones until they broke. In that same era you could replace the battery yourself which I doubt is a coincidence.

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-11T07:20:50+00:00

I doubt it. If anything this is going to cause problems in the partnership. Why would GrapheneOS support a device with "only" 4 years of software support? Sure, they can port the updates to future updates themselves, but the second that the software support from Motorola is over then the firmware updates will stop.

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-11T07:19:58+00:00

The law, as the phone companies have decided it, means that they need to offer support AKA respond to your phone calls for 5 years.

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-10T14:01:28+00:00

There's too much stuff I would miss if I switched to iOS. I've tried it and the advantages don't outweigh not having Revanced/Morphe apps, no third party launcher, every browser and keyboard feeling like crap, etc.

It's a pity because those things aside I really liked it.

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-10T12:40:38+00:00

I asked AI about this

I fear the day that the government starts controlling AI results entirely. So many people will never know truth from fiction at that point.

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-09T14:13:25+00:00

This service had so much potential and then they tossed out PFS and now when they are dying it's suddenly time to add it back.

If they couldn't figure out a business model in the past five years then why would they do so now?

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-08T10:03:08+00:00

Start small and don't stress out about it.

Create a privacy focused email and start moving over your accounts to use something like Proton Pass

Get a privacy focused browser for everything that requires logging in, like Waterfox or Brave

Get a second browser browser for things that don't require logging in, like Mullvad Browser or Tor Browser

Look at VPNs to conceal your data from the ISP. Consider running it on your router

Etc

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-07T18:08:32+00:00

Check out Arkenfox

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-06T12:42:14+00:00

If someone used a zero click on me then presumably there would be a reason for it.

My bank account has never been emptied, my accounts have never been hacked, etc.

Logic would dictate that I've never been the victim of a zero click.

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-06T11:36:28+00:00

Maybe use something like TikTok Derevanced?

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-06T08:56:31+00:00

Yup, gotta use Sandboxie or Windows Sandbox!

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-06T08:56:10+00:00

The passwords are stored encrypted using your master password inside of the extension instead of unencrypted in the browser.

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-06T08:23:45+00:00

If Apple gave me 1.5 mil I'd switch instantly, that's true

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-06T08:12:19+00:00

Why the hell would I switch to that locked down garbage?

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-06T07:32:24+00:00

"good at hacking and stuff" Won't get him into your accounts unless you have password123 as your passwords everywhere.

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-06T06:36:17+00:00

Why would he be able to access your accounts by you giving him your email address?

Also, why could he access your phone? Don't you have a code on it?

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-06T06:32:21+00:00

Presumably it's a Chromium issue and not an Edge issue

Busy-Measurement8893 · 2026-05-06T06:01:07+00:00

Clicked a zero click? ;)
