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

There are so few sites that should leave a cookie I just set it to purge everything on browser close, and then make exceptions for the ones who actually should leave a cookie.
Pretty sure every browser now has the option to dump all the data when it closes.
I would do that but I want to stay logged in on some websites like lichess.
The login scene is so terrible nowadays with 2fa, passkeys etc. It's not as easy as just remembering a password or using a simple password manager.
Use two browsers. One for logins, the other dumps all data on close.
same I use IronFox for random stuff and Brave for website that actually requires a login
