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 :)

This is great! I wanted something like this for a long time.
Any suggestions for something similar that runs on a linux desktop?
I used TrackMeNot extension for Firefox in the past, but it has been abandoned and not updated in close to 10 years.
I'd advise switching from Firefox to Mullvad Browser. They have a window size protection tool built in to obfuscate your actual screen size, as well as some other cool goodies.
the window size protection you mention is a firefox feature called RFP and can be enabled on vanilla firefox as well.
I think what you're looking for is AdNauseam.
AdNauseam works on pages you are visiting, as far as I understood.
Fauxx instead does its thing independently in the background.
Something like this is an interesting approach:
