That was my assumption as well. Thanks OP for sharing.

If possible, self-host SearxNG using Docker/Podman to avoid all of these.

I use "GtkStressTesting" for tracking system's health, although it's actually a Benchmarking tool.

NUKED the problem in a SINGLE post 😜

I personally use Invidious (Privacy front-end of YouTube) using Docker. Though it can be compiled and run standalone as well.

It doesn't take much resource (< 100 MB) to run on my system. There is NO ad or no pause.

It's like YouTube Premium account with ZERO tracking.

You are right; I should have fully read OP's post before advising.

In my case, all cookies (except the ones I marked as exception) are deleted when browser is closed. Note, 3rd party cookies are by default blocked on Firefox.

I found this to be right setup for me.

Sorry, for the confusion.

One of those extensions recommended by Mozilla.

I found CS:GO 2 stopped working after upgrade to driver v545 from v535. Anyone else noticed the same?

In my case I’m using Miniflux RSS reader on Docker on a Raspberry Pi4. It has option to download content of articles. It’s really lightweight.

To add more context to it -

Meta is actually trying to comply circumvent EU's strict privacy policy.

Recently, The EU's top court said in July that Meta must first get consent before showing ads to users - a ruling that jeopardises the company's ability to make money by tailoring advertisements for individual users based on their online interests and digital activity.

Is the switch to Mastodon a possibility for you?

Option 3 : Delete your FB profile, and live peacefully ever after 😀

To put it in right context (relying on Wiki data for year 2021):

Current population of Greece: 10,482,487 (~10.5 Million)

Current population of India: 1,210,854,977 (~1.2 Billion)

To be fair here, Greece has much less population than India 🙂

I personally consider this[1] to be the ultimate test of Browser fingerprint protection coverage. Let me know if you manage to find a way to defeat this test.

Same setup, but with Mullvad Browser

This is another good website for Browser leak/privacy settings test.

OS: Ubuntu 23.10 | Browser: Firefox 119 | Add-on: No-Script | Misc: AdGuardHome on Raspberry Pi 4B

Edit: Uploaded Full image for Comparison with Mullvad Browser.

Let me put it in this way – if Firefox were really a spyware, TOR browser won't be based on Firefox.

In my opinion, Firefox should give an option to enable ECH forcefully for users like me who has AdGuardHome/Pi-Hole running on Home Network. Currently, if DOH is disabled in Firefox setting, ECH won't work, as per Firefox. 😦
