A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Like everyone else said. You're pretty much fighting against tracking cookies at this point. My 2 cents. "Hardened" Firefox running containers for personal, shopping and that stiff. uBlock origin, Privacy Badger by the EFF and look up user-agent spoofing. Set your user-agent to something like Windows 11 chrome. If you're feeling adventurous look into a pi-hole as well.
