This is straightforward with browser addons like uBlock Origin where you can add and choose blocklists, but I did searches for doing so system wide and using a VPN but didn’t find clear answers. I could use a DNS service that provides blocklists but isn’t it best practice to leave DNS to the VPN provider? I looked up blocklists and VPNs but didn’t find relevant results. On Android, I didn’t find any apps that let you filter blocklists and using your own VPN other than Rethink, but the blocklists feature requires using Rethink’s DNS. So what’s the best way to filter ads and trackers on both 3rd party apps and on OS’s like Android (specific Samsung phones) while still using a VPN?

I'm actually really glad u showed me this, MUCH more convenient than using adb!

Are there actually Windows users that say Linux is too complicated but then jump through hoops with registry even CMD prompt?!

I'm not micromanage it, that may be a privacy tradeoff i make for convenience. I want to see what I can do without constant maintenance.
I've had a Galaxy S22+ for 2 years and still want to use it. When I look up how to maximize privacy on Android, many results say to install custom ROMs which I can't since its a US model and the bootloader is locked. I just want to minimize tracking and sharing of personal information. I could use a firewall app like RethinkDNS to block trackers, but could I completely block tracking from Google and Samsung? Are there any lists of packages to uninstall to improve privacy? (I've used ADB to remove a bunch of bloatware. Ex: `pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.arzone`)

Can you kindly tell me the difference between a leak and a breach?
Like when I read [3 Billion National Public Data Records with SSNs, Addresses Dumped Online](https://reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1emmz1r/3_billion_national_public_data_records_with_ssns/), am I supposed to access that data dump or something to see if I got pwned? Are there equivalents to [haveibeenpwned.com](https://haveibeenpwned.com) for this type of stuff? Any guides on what to do when these happen? I feel like I'm doomscrolling or watching the news, and feeling depressed about the world as a result because I should be doing something but I can't or it seems like I can't. Even though I know better than to put such personal info online, but that doesn't eliminate the odds of them getting into breaches like these, and having started to be careful about digital privacy has opened my eyes to the sad state of privacy.

I'm actually pissed. I and many other users on the forum got an email from Chris Hayes on this: Hello, This is a friendly email to make you aware that your personal email address is currently visible to the whole internet via Mozilla's Discourse forum. It will show up in Google Search results. The affected email is the one that this email was sent to.

One example would be state disability programs, they already need my real name and identity to work with me. Are there any downsides to sharing a simplelogin alias containing my real name vs no containing my real name? I just think it would be easier record keeping for them.

I just tried changing my email on studentaid.gov to a simplelogin alias (using SL is a habit at this point) and I got notifications that emails from it were bounced while trying to verify the email change with sent codes. I looked it up and found a bunch of Reddit posts about issues with SL and iCloud.

Can this app work without a server, like just log my location on-device?
TheTwelveYearOld 2 months ago • 100%
I want an app that can track it automatically, and without having to open it to do so, Google maps on iOS does so. You can allow apps to always access your location to do so.
TheTwelveYearOld 2 months ago • 100%
I guess there are still users for it.
Personally I moved on from it 4 years ago since I was using it for bookmarking and raindrop.io is designed for that and much better, though I've been planning on switching to something self-hosted.
I think Omnivore is a much better read it later app now.
I want to keep a timeline of the places I go like Google Maps can, and export it to mac for my diary*. The maps app doesn't have to be great, it just needs to keep a timeline in the background, I would still use Apple Maps as my main navigation app. *(ideally I can automatically export it somehow, perhaps with the Shortcuts and Scriptable app but just tell me any apps with a timeline and export feature)

I just tried it on the Tor Browser and I still get the error, I'm gonna wait a day to see if its just a rate limit, because I've prolly created dozens of aliases today as I've been changing all my account emails.
I don't use Tor as my default browser because the Tor circuits are slower and not necessary for my threat model.

You're absolutely right micro-optimization, I found that I did too much of that in 2022 and 23 and really cut down on that this year, I found that doing so is basically never worth it. I'm not gonna do that with privacy either, I'm focusing on what actions I can take that will make big improvements to my privacy rather than tweak every little thing.

Firefox changes the capacity dynamically, I set browser.cache.disk.capacity to false in about:config and browser.cache.disk.capacity to 1024000 (the storage amount in MBs)

This was last updated 3 years ago, does it still work fine? Maybe add a note saying that it works as of 2024? I also see an issue opened a year ago that's unanswered.

The issue with bookmarks is that it takes too much navigation to open one and browsers don’t allow to select multiple in a folder to open

For backing up history files.

Tab Session manage can automatically backup sessions to the backup folder. I mentioned that on r/Firefox and got this response:
Oh, this is interesting. It does a backup-to-disk 30 seconds after startup.
During init() it schedules the backup with
setTimeout(backupSessions, 30000);
This generates a silent download to a predefined folder through the functions in these files:

https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager/blob/master/src/background/backup.js
https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager/blob/master/src/background/export.js
I didn't know setTimeout() worked in background scripts. If setInterval() works, too, then this could be done every 15 minutes or whatever interval would be sensible for user styles.

I've received complaints about spamming posts so I added the instance names in the titles. I thought there's no harm in posting crossposting, I know Lemmy is federated but I want to ensure they show up instead of hoping for automatic feed algorithm to show them when it may or may not.
IDK why I so much flak. If any here downvotes my posts or this comment please respond below with your thoughts to help me figure out how to move forward.

I want to export them automatically because I've had Firefox addon data get wiped unexpectedly.

I wonder if its because I crosspost to other Firefox communities but they all show up in the feed of any given one.

I just created a new profile and it isn't default on it. What settings do I change for it?
