[@fredjones43]

@@Hy-Brasil Not at all. What I meant was, why worry about trying to use google search anymore since they have messed it up so bad, you can’t find anything anymore. It ignores your specific query and answers something you did not ask it. As for using it to watch your dvd’s, I don’t believe it is terrible to do that if you limit that browser to you dvd’s and other google services. For everything else, use a different browser. Rob Braxman says in that way you can severely limit their tracking capability. I am assuming she is not using google to watch dvd’s she does not want it known she is watching? I assume she knows better than that.

[@valeriehancotte-galan4790]

[@gorkyd7912]

I don't think this should be as depressing as people think it is. The depression comes from fear, the fear comes from the unknown; we don't know how much they know about us or how they're using it so it's scary. The more you know the less fearful you will be and the less depressed you will be. The insinuation is "Google knows everything you do online" or something like that, scary, but move past your fears and the truth is more like Google is a system of CCTV cameras on public streets. It sees little bits of your public life (browsing the internet) and that's it. It uses AI to try to make assumptions about you that it can use for its purposes. The assumptions are always wrong because browsing the internet even for a heavy internet user is not their entire life, but they can still be useful when aggregated across many, many users even with this very low acuity. If you've ever tried to advertise to users on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, you will see just how bad these assumptions are by how they target your ads. Actually they know almost nothing, but the fear of these systems cripples dissidents needlessly and yes they are improving their information over time.

Along with practicing separation of concerns with browsers/devices I use a user-agent add-on which lets me set and rotate key browser meta data on each session start. I've tested this as well with your fingerprinting site.

[@truthseekinganarchist4629]

they'll know you have that add-on if you go to ip leak it'll be listed on your browser as something you have which will raise some red flags for them as you being a person of suspicious interest.

[@mmathews7724]

I'd appreciate your opinion as I'm stuck on making a tough decision. I'm looking for an optimal web browser set up for maximum online privacy. I'm debating which of these 3 options is best. The first option is using 4 different web browsers, 1 for each (email, banking, shopping and general web browsing). Option 2 is using Firefox exclusively and having 4 different user profiles set up. Option 3 is to use just 1 Firefox user profile and create "containers". I love firefox and really prefer option 3 best then option 2 because it would be great using 1 browser. However, I'm thinking it will not offer the most security against fingerprinting and tracking. I'm new to all this and would greatly appreciate your suggestions!

[@gregbell2117]

My browser fingerprint on your tool is different on every page reload. Complete with cookie blocking so one fingerprint can't be linked to the next, and I'm set. Also, I block JS not just for tracking reasons, but because I don't need code from all over the internet running on my computer - major security issue.

[@Deviiie]

I usually use Virtual machines with freshly installed browsers and leave it as plain as possible with a VPN, I feel like that's a good strat too that falls under the same concept of isolation.

[@paullavigne9741]

what vm do u recommend?

[@burcakb1]

Firefox + multi-account containers + uBlock Origin goes a long way. I get a different fingerprint every time i visit your site and the cookies don't travel across the containers. I still keep a few browsers on hand like you for stuff i can't avoid. There's also a firefox plugin that misreports your computer (browser type, operating system, etc).
