Hi, My browsing setup on desktop is Firefox with temporary containers, ublock origin and a few other plugins. On iOS I'm using Firefox Focus most of the time with the occasional Sa…

Yes, I did notice that replies to your post were blaming cookies and some incorrect assumptions - hence I wanted to put the time in writing this post separately. To further validat…

Yes, never logged on. Linking your location back to you personally is a different topic and depends on your usage - but if you have a static IP for > 2 weeks - google.com should sh…

I actually mentioned this in another reply. I never tried but it should work in an android emulator - set the GPS coordinates to something interesting - of course, something that w…

Hi, I don't think HN has this capability so I was trying to craft something via ublock origin. I added: news.ycombinator.com##div:has(a[href*="user?id=example"]) however, that only…

My day to day browser is a hardened Firefox (plenty of about:config tweaks, resistfingerprinting, ublock origin, temporary containers etc). For signing up to Oracle Cloud I used a …
