Crosspost because still getting used to lemmy...

Not to long ago I had a website that functioned like the tracker control app. When using the site it would test against a list of trackers and tell me what my 1Blocker app is actively blocking. I cannot for the life of me remember the url or find it. I’m hoping someone here knows what I’m looking for. TIA

I just acquired a new PC, and it hasn’t been turned on yet. I would love some advice and tips on what to do before I get started with it to protect my privacy....

Tried to use OSMAnd last week to navigate around on vacation. For some reason it seems to be incapable of searching for house numbers, which is an instant dealbreaker. I’m very confused as to how or why this is a thing on such a mature product....

Hi, would you know a privacy friendly clock app ?

I know they’ve been around since the GDPR came into effect, but I’ve suddenly noticed a sharp increase in the cookie prompts on web pages which have a second “legitimate interest” page. Some of these have an “object all” button, but plenty require you to manually opt-out of sometimes hundreds of ad-trackers....

I could use discord in a mobile browser but it’s a bit weird since I mostly use discord for calls than messaging....

The latter has filters to block trackers and fingerprinting scripts....

I didn’t see this on any privacy guide, but with minimal work, you can have a cloud drive that’s accessible from your phone and laptop....

I want to self host in order to run Nextcloud, Firefly III, Home Assistant, maybe Photoprism, and maybe a couple other things down the line. And I want it to be fast and with low maintenance....

I am in the process of moving out some contacts from Google Contacts, specifically those that I do not have a Gmail address. It's a way for me to give these people a tiny bit more privacy, as I'm doing a cleanup of my contact list. My concern is that Google will still keep their data even after I delete it from my end. Is it so?...

Hi, I recently switched to Ubuntu but the file manager (Nautilus I think) is not practical at all. I would like to be able to :...

Hi, would you know a privacy friendly authenticator ? I already have 2FAS which seems recommended for data privacy.

I’m just wondering why Filen.io isn’t included in the privacyguides.org. It’s great cloud service with execlent privacy and good pricing too.

I wanted to add hardware 2FA to Apple ID, and noticed this particularly strange requirement....

I have been using NextDNS over the past two years, and am generally happy with their service. However, I’ve never compared their quality against the other recommended ones (like Control D, Quad 9, Mullvad, etc) particularly in terms of ping. I’m based in Australia. Any fellow Aussies using any of these services and care to...

I know that there is a WIP for a future article about router platforms, but from the little I’ve read on the Github issue page and a few videos I’ve watched I decided to make this plan right here:...

Is it possible to do it? Is it less hassle than trying to play nice with Google or Microsoft in order not to have your email sent to spam or not received at all?

I did not any research about it yet, but it’s recommended by “Firefox”… and we all now how worse this recommendations are sometimes. I would like to you if you guys knows anything abt it....

Looking to set up a basic static website. What domain registrar should I go with? Would prefer something that has more privacy obviously. Any recommendations on hosting services (cannot host on own hardware right now)?...

I want to set up a RSS feed for me to subscribe to some websites. I am a newbie and never used RSS before. I found Raven Reader, which is open source. But I don’t know of it’s trustworthy, too....

So I prefer to use a DNS blocker (DoH) on my IOS devices to block ads, malware, and trackers. For the longest time I’ve been using Aha DNS Blitz because it allows you to choose the exact filter lists you want to enable. Recently I saw Mullvad now has their own DoH service as well and I’m trying it out now. It’s not as...
