   This is the problem with using a chromium browser imo. why already google cookies?!

     idk, vivaldi feels like a big ole no for me. Why isn't there a strict mode preset for privacy settings? Why are all these google services enabled by default? Why isn't "ask sites not to track me" enabled by default? Why is there a notes app built into the browser?

     @obsolete29 "Ask sites not to track me" is not being honored by somewebsites, and if they do, they use this signal for fingerprinting.

     Ok, I think I'll try to make Tor browser work on desktop as a daily driver.

     Strangely enough, Tor actually makes my email less secure because I want to disable the 2fa since Tor doesn't allow one to make exceptions for saved cookies.

     I thought IceCat was going to be the answer I've been looking for as a browser but I can't get it to work. It doesn't load the login screens for fastmail, indieweb.social or even feedbin. I suspect it's whatever thing they're doing with javascript but it also makes the main services I use unusable. Not great bob.

     I sincerely hate that Mozilla is "working with a team from Facebook" to do ad tracking. But other than like Tor (which seems to be actively hostile to non-nation state actors), there is no one *not* doing some sort fucking weird ass "privacy" ad tracking. Hate.

     Ok, trying out LibreWolf during lunch. Much prefer the installation method of LIbreWolf over IceCat. Let's give it a whirl!

     Ok hit my first issue with #LibreWolf this morning. I'm not sure if this is by design or if it's a bug but when I set the privacy settings to custom (I want to block all cookies except my exceptions), it doesn't keep the settings between sessions. When I close and reopen the browser, it's set back to Strict instead of Custom.
