Don’t forgot about https://librewolf.net/ https://librewolf.net/
It’s Firefox with every privacy setting turned to max.
- dr_kiszonka 4y agoThere is also WaterFox, which I quite like as a secondary browser. https://www.waterfox.net/ https://www.waterfox.net/
- b1ue64 4y agoWaterFox is owned by an advertising company called System1 https://system1.com/press/system1-welcomes-waterfox https://system1.com/press/system1-welcomes-waterfox
- dr_kiszonka 4y agoDrats :/
- intelVISA 4y ago+1 for librewolf, but be sure to augment your security posture with the appropriate countermeasures when using such a unique fingerprint else your 'privacy' is just getting you moved to an even narrower, and more closely regarded list.
- jancsika 4y agoI made a pull request to Librewolf that adds a handy dialog to deal with just this issue: Warning: You are using Librewolf. Augment security posture with the appropriate countermeasures? Yes | No | Continue | Abort | Cancel | Cancel with augmented security posture | Speak to elf
- intelVISA 4y agoAppreciate it, though I'm worried about the UX impact of having the correct choice (speak to elf) all the way at the end...
- jancsika 4y agoIt's in a long line of well-known security UX practices-- what better way to teach the user the right choice than by guiding them down all the other paths first? Here, let me tab-complete my pubkey so we can continue this discussion in private: -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY----- b3BlbnNzaC1rZXktdjEAAAAABG5vbmUAAAAEbm9uZQAAAAAAAAABAAAAMwAAAAtzc2gtZW QyNTUxOQAAACBGCHC9jhyIIOyoFx5PP9wpaRE/8jIksP+ET++fca82pQAAAKCSve3okr3t 6AAAAAtzc2gtZWQyNTUxOQAAACBGCHC9jhyIIOyoFx5PP9wpaRE/8jIksP+ET++fca82pQ AAAEDbv7BsaZKNPQZSGeT8IBMb2z+lNCpTLZ7VXprw84XsZ0YIcL2OHIgg7KgXHk8/3Clp ET/yMiSw/4RP759xrzalAAAAFnlvdXJfZW1haWxAZXhhbXBsZS5jb20BAgMEBQYH -----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
- piaste 4y agoLibrewolf is great, and my main desktop browser. One warning that will avoid you some frustration: Librewolf's default settings delete all browsing history when the browser is closed. If you're using it on a private device and want to keep your history, change the setting the first time you run it. It's in the same place as in regular Firefox, nothing special.
- goodpoint 4y agoRather use the Tor Browser. It does much, much more in anonymizing you both by using Tor and by reducing fingerprint.
- t0bia_s 4y agoI hope you are not using Tor for login to HN.
- worldsavior 4y agoIt only increases fingerprinting.
