    1. private, secure dns, so they don’t know the domains you’re visiting
    2. https everywhere, so they can’t see any of the data you’re sending or receiving

    All that’s left is what ip’s you’re connecting to. Which is useless half the time, especially since most websites are behind cloudflare or some other anti-ddos proxy already.

    Also, don’t use the web browser that came with your phone. Some manufacturers and isp’s might enjoy adding tracking into those. Some, like Apple, even got caught not encrypting amy of that.

    Side note:

    • https everywhere is pretty much the standard in modern web browsers
    • an adblocker can still help a lot in blocking trackers
    • a secure dns you can find in your browser settings










  • Firefox dropped app support and their version of electron, just as half the app market is moving towards pwa’s. Just coincidence that google has a monopoly on that market now.

    Firefox worked with google to develop the “privacy sandbox”. Where instead of tracking just with cookies, they now just straight up tell your church’ website that you’re gay as soon as you visit. Handy for targeted ads.

    Firefox also conveniently backs out of some random css standards just to rename them. Making google chrome better supported for no reason other than just cuz.

    It’s been an odd thing with them for a while now. Also why does firefox insist on absolute garbage tab, bookmark and history management. There used to be proper customization, but they removed it when chrome came in with… simple history and smooth tab management :/
