Those Yellow Bastards…

AnnaFrankfurter, in What should be used for anonymous usernames?

I usually just use a fake name generator to create a name and use it as a username this takes care of my inability to think of random usernames, birth date and other stuff that most websites these days ask. And it also makes me look like another dumb idiot and not a l33t haxor.

random65837, in (Android) Sandboxed Apps with own VPN and Firewall? [solved]

Android natively sandboxes, so that’s already done. When you’re already running Graphene there’s no reason to further move them to other users, or profiles.

The obvious issue is you’re still pushing data to data miners regardless, whether it’s in your name or not, it’s just as valuable to them.

Zerush, in Multiple Adblockers in a row - does it make sense or is it even harmful?
@Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

It don’t make sense, most adblocker use the same sources, if not enough, most of them perm`ts to ad own filters, even from other adblockers. Aditional extensions can be other privacy tols, like script nlocker or fingerprint spoofer, like Privacy Badger, Canvas Blocker, JShelter, etc., and others like Link Unshortener, URL Cleaner, things like this, complementary to the adblocker. Use several adblocker only slow down browsing or even can breaksome pages.

This should be common knowledge that corporations live from criminal negotiations. Common people don’t understand this , and is simple and straightforward. Demonstrated thousand of times

If I print up an invoice for the time I've spent blocking all their tracking cookies, do you think I could take it to small claims court? It's gotta be at least a couple hundred bucks worth of labor at this point.

IphtashuFitz, in Multiple Adblockers in a row - does it make sense or is it even harmful?

Different tools for different things…

Unlock etc are browser plugins and only block ads in browsers.

pi-hole blocks DNS requests to advertising domains. It blocks ads, tracking data, etc. not only on my browser-based systems, but on other connected devices like smart TVs, media players, etc.

pound_heap, in What should be used for anonymous usernames?

I use SimpleLogin for email alias, and username usually has to be associated with email address. So I just use whatever SimpleLogin generates for me

satanmat, in What should be used for anonymous usernames?

May not be popular….

But Apple can use hide my email, similar to Bitwarden.

So there’s another option

authed, in Am I running the risk of getting my Google account banned for logging into the Aurora Store or a custom rom like GrapheneOS?

just backup your account

dukethorion, in Google Chrome IP address protection challenged by industry
@dukethorion@lemmy.world avatar

Good for Google (ikr) for basically telling other tracking/ad companies to f*** off.

Also, bad, for the monopoly reasons.

I see iOS folks getting told to use Private Relay(?) all the time (with i-something disabled). How is this any different than that, other than being run by G?

Not going to use it myself, but I guess its sort of a step in the right direction for the uninformed tech-illiterate. The next step would be to show the average person how to do the same thing without G’s help.

random65837, in Article 45 Will Roll Back Web Security by 12 Years

Funny all the excuses made by the sheep on how great the EU govt is for all their internet greatness when theyve proven at every front their even worse than the US. Which is an accomplishment.

mriormro, in New Outlook update sends passwords and mails on private servers to MS. Ulrich Kelber, TheCommissioner for Data Protection of Germany plans to submit inquires on Tuesday
@mriormro@lemmy.world avatar

This keeps popping up. Isn’t this mostly because ‘new’ Outlook is basically just a wrapper for owa?

pabloscloud, in Is there any Firefox extension to automatically reject cookie popups?
@pabloscloud@lemmy.world avatar
