I changed emails on my Mozilla account, and then trying to log in again with it, it prompted me to create a new account. I made a Firefox support post 2 weeks ago but got no responses.

What should I do when I see headlines about personal data getting breached? How do I keep such info off the internet? (lemmy.world)

Like when I read 3 Billion National Public Data Records with SSNs, Addresses Dumped Online, am I supposed to access that data dump or something to see if I got pwned? Are there equivalents to haveibeenpwned.com for this type of stuff? Any guides on what to do when these happen? I feel like I'm doomscrolling or watching the news, and feeling depressed about the world as a result because I should be doing something but I can't or it seems like I can't.

Even though I know better than to put such personal info online, but that doesn't eliminate the odds of them getting into breaches like these, and having started to be careful about digital privacy has opened my eyes to the sad state of privacy.

I just learned about The Work Number, what are other methods of employee, medical, or financial data collection can I opt out of? by TheTwelveYearOld in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Did Obama do anything relating to this?

I tried looking for lists but didn't find any.

The Work Number is US-specific and where your employers input your salary data for future employers to see. You can opt out here: https://employees.theworknumber.com/employee-data-freeze/.

Alternatives to Google Maps' timeline feature on iOS? by TheTwelveYearOld in c/privacyguides@lemmy.one
[-] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I want an app that can track it automatically, and without having to open it to do so, Google maps on iOS does so. You can allow apps to always access your location to do so.

No I used a different username on the site

SimpleLogin premium, with their domain. But I can't blame them for not wanting to ruin the simplelogin.com domain

I'd definitely wanna block embedded trackers though

Privacy@Lemmy.ml: Are there any privacy issues with keeping camera or mic access on for iOS apps? by TheTwelveYearOld in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[-] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

But would it not be easy for a user to catch when the app is using the mic or camera when it's not supposed to? the lights are an iOS feature that can't be disabled.

Privacy@Lemmy.ml: What are the best ways to minimize fingerprinting on Firefox? by TheTwelveYearOld in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[-] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

You're absolutely right micro-optimization, I found that I did too much of that in 2022 and 23 and really cut down on that this year, I found that doing so is basically never worth it. I'm not gonna do that with privacy either, I'm focusing on what actions I can take that will make big improvements to my privacy rather than tweak every little thing.

Privacy@Lemmy.ml: How well do sites like Blacklight work for checking if sites use trackers? by TheTwelveYearOld in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

I have UBlock Origin, I assume that one that one is good?

Firefox 118 Is Now Available for Download with Built-In Translation for Websites by TheTwelveYearOld in c/firefox@lemmy.world
[-] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Just keep doing things Google will never do, and show why it’s better for the user.

I get that but Google has had built-in translation for years! There are other features that Chrome and Chromium-based browsers have that Firefox still doesn't including, some sort of implementation of tab groups, easy profile switching, having multiple open simultaneously with only one copy of Firefox (you don't need multiple copies of Chrome to have multiple profiles).

Ding ding ding! User agent switcher addon. See my post edit.
