My default for all browsing is to use Private Safari window and never stay logged in for longer than needed. Btw, there is hidden Safari setting in iOS, under Advanced at the bottom, “Privacy Preserved Ad Measurement” that was on, for some weird reason. And check and purge Website Data periodically. Oh, and use iCloud Private Relay. A must.

I'm in a similar setup for FF on my Mac, but I also have it clear everything on exit. I exit at least every couple of days just to clear things, and sometimes immediately after visiting certain sites just because it makes me feel better while wearing tin foil. It's annoying after every launch causes me to use all of the various 2FAs to log back in, but I just don't trust what all you evil devs have done to the internet.

  > annoying after every launch causes me to use all of the various 2FAs In Mac, KeyChain passw manager can store TOTP secret too, so its just three clicks instead of one/two :) Why not using Safari? There is Wipr, not uBO but good enough. And you will get Private Relay.

    I've been on FF since before Safari. I've never been a Chrome user. FF is like a nice worn in pair of pants. It just fits.

      Ha ha! I get it. But today’s FF is slipping to being worse. Lets see if uBO survives Manifest V3. And don't use DoH, I have a bad feeling about it, http cookies inside DoH are undefined thing.

        You say so. It does everything I need, and as far as developing, I much prefer FF DevTools to Chrome and Safari. I only turn to Safari if I need dev tools for an iDevice

Thanks for the pointer. That was somehow enabled even though I locked it to private mode, and disabled the iOS level ad tracking bullshit.

  (CR study co-author here) The tricky part, though, is that even with your client-side settings and privacy tools set up 100% right, any company that has your info can still send it to Facebook server-to-server, with "Conversions API." https://themarkup.org/pixel-hunt/2023/08/02/help-us-investigate-surveillance-marketing-using-facebook-data https://themarkup.org/pixel-hunt/2023/08/02/help-us-investig...
