In the same way that ublock is a must-have extension for many people, I won't browse without cookieAutoDelete [0]. Mostly I don't bother authenticating with websites anymore, and (I think about 3 maybe? And I just reauthenticate when I want to use those) and for mobile browsing I mostly use Firefox Focus [1]. The ad networks are down to browser fingerprinting now, which will be devastatingly accurate but realistically be the next frontier in the privacy war. I habitually roll IP addresses from different VPS service providers but I'm not sure there's much more an end user can do currently. Fascinated to see how this front will develop - if things like GDPR are coming into effect, then it's only a matter of time before a gratuitous misuse of data is closed in on, though I suspect it's too late for the current generation.

- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoRandom user agent to throw off the fingerprinting. Decentraleyes to defeat CDN tracking.
- artificial 7y agoAnother fun one is viewport tracking.
