I believe that the only two privacy extensions you really need to meet 90% of your privacy goals are uBlock origin + NoScript
uBlock origin is effective because it stops the injection of ads which might contain and inject code. NoScript forces you to look at which scripts you really need for the website to function. Say you visit a trusted site, like your lemmy instance, then you can enable running of javascript by default the next time you visit the site. You’ll be surprised how functional some sites are even without javascript. I did not like the idea of browsers having Javascript: it’s remote code execution and if there’s anything malicious in there and your browser is not patched against it you’re fucked. This way yeah it’ll be annoying when you first visit a site but it remembers your settings for the next time you visit.
You can still be tracked with that.
I wouldn’t run without Chameleon set to change my borwaser properties every 60 seconds, which makes tracking fingerprinting useless.
Actually, tracking the extremely unique individual with sometime, nonsensical features is making you hyper-easy to track on websites. Maybe it could be useful per browsing sessions, but every 60 seconds in non-sensical, a compatibility nightmare and defeat even the deception method of faking your browser features.
In session sanitising seems pretty useless.
Sounds dumb.
I need to learn Chameleon well, I tried it once but it seemed complicated so I gave up
What’s hard? After install the only thing I change is the drop down to 60 seconds.
Did I mistake it for a different app? I use Librewolf with letterboxing, is using Chameleon more secure?
