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 :)

I have a “JavaScript off by default” approach and things generally work fine for me. I enable system functions on an as-needed basis; most sites don’t need to know what my mouse and keyboard are doing, so I don’t let them. In the rare case where it’s needed, I have it turned on for that particular location.
It takes a few weeks of frustration to set up, but I did this over a decade ago, and I’m down to maybe a site every 3 months or so where I need to tweak something. Usually when something doesn’t work right, I investigate and realize that I shouldn’t be visiting the site in question at all, and should find an alternative source.
