That's just resistFingerprinting. Not sure if you can disable it in Mull Browser but it's an about:config option for all Firefox-based browsers on desktop.
The suggestions people are making are good but I want to point out that GrapheneOS has good defaults so you don't need to do much except use your phone. If you don't have a particularly high threat model you shouldn't need to make any other considerations (beyond just what software you use on your phone, like if you use something like discord or whatever)
Yeah you're right that's not a useful answer. This question in particular was also prompted by being linked a public resource, so even if I got someone else to download it for me and send it to me as a .ods file (it was a Google Sheets link specifically), that would just be offloading who visits the google site to someone else. Ie using your friend as a proxy. Which may be fine if you just don't want to visit the site yourself and that's your only objection, but I am pretty easily traceable to the type of friend who would send me a google docs link, and it definitely doesn't offer the same anonymity as a proxy like Piped which is used by a lot of people (as opposed to a proxy like my friend, a proxy which is only used by one person...)
I know Librewolf says that. I have tried to use Sync but after signing into my Mozilla account Librewolf doesn't recognise me as logged in and doesn't sync.
You may think Linux users are annoying but to be fair Microsoft is frankly begging for the "btw you should use linux" comments with every new windows update
Thats fine if you value the warranty over your privacy (not trying to be sarcastic, everyone has a different threat model and I mean it when I say that's fine for some people), but personally I would prefer the computer were not traceable to me, including at the cost of having to buy replacements when they otherwise come with warranty. I have turned down various things that electronics come with that require leaving your details. I understand why people leave their details to get the extra stuff but i am willing to spend more to be anonymous.
Try it in a vm if you don't want to install it on bare metal (that isn't a raspberry pi)
You can also find cheap ass second hand laptops on ebay for similar prices to pis but should have much better performance, especially if you're willing to do some upgrades like installing a cheap ssd instead of the hdd.
Afraid they almost definitely are actively monitoring all my above-ground activities lol, I'm in a country getting quite a bit of international flak for cracking down on political dissidents. Won't say any more than that, tbh that doesn't narrow down my location much with the current state of things anyway. But yeah I agree, I want to minimise the amount of data accessible about me.
I also want to pay more in cash to reward businesses for still allowing you to pay in cash as I'm noticing more are going cashless. I'm occasionally reliant on cash so I don't want to end up stranded on those occasions where I can only pay cash, so definitely want to ensure the option remains open. The privacy is a benefit too of course.
I think at the moment I mostly buy "important" stuff in cash and everyday stuff with card. Important like a new computer or something, because I'd plan to have that computer for a while and don't want it easily traced to me. Everyday stuff like food because, while I completely understand not wanting the state/banks/etc to know anything about you, I personally don't care too much if the state knows what I eat. Would be nice to eventually become one of those people with no footprint at all though.
If it's low-value change you won't feel any worse giving it away. And if it's so valuable to you then it must be valuable enough that you can buy something you want with it.
Congrats, it's a great feeling to finally be free :) I was wary when I did it too, but I knew I literally never booted into Windows anyway. And I never regretted it afterwards. Never went back.
I found that Proton always had connectivity issues tbh. Frequently had to disable my vpn just to use the internet which defeated the purpose. Never had this issue with Mullvad; I've found it very reliable. Also Mullvad is absolutely more privacy oriented. They don't require any kind of personal data. Proton will be tied to your Proton account so possibly your email, proton drive, etc.
Well I guess the laws where I live are quite different to where you live. I don't have the statistics but I imagine that a non-insignificant number of countries set the age of medical consent to a reasonable age at which people understand and have their own preferences as to the medical care they receive.
Do you think that children enjoy getting shots?
I said 12. 12 year olds can refuse vaccines (and those who do are not physically forced to, that sounds insane to me), in my experience at school when vaccines were offered at that age almost everyone opted to have them though.
I would rather lose my passwords than have my password database be accessed by someone else. Most websites have a "forgot password" function, and for passwords that don't have that (e.g. to decrypt my hard drive or log into my computer) I've memorised the passphrase and always type it manually anyway. And for passwords where neither applies, it's probably not a huge loss anyway if I've not prepared for the possibility of losing my password db for that particular password.
