Beer? My settings taste like rancid fish oil.
No JavaScript by default. Each JavaScript file or snippet MUST be whitelisted FOR THAT DOMAIN. My whitelist has about 50 permanent websites.
Cookies vanish when I close each tab. I can whitelist specific domains that won't do that. I never accept third party cookies. I have about 5 domains whitelisted for that.
No browser history. I have around 5 bookmarks. My bookmarks bar is on the same row as the address bar, if I put too much bookmarks I loose address bar space and get uncomfortable, forcing me to clean it up.
My phone only have about 20 apps (including default ones) on the home screen. Single page, only the bare essentials. Everything else is browser based. I don't even have GMail, for example (disabled it). The only things that can notify me are calls, sms and alarm clock. I have zero permanent contacts (memorized phones of closer people).
Result:
- I can't keep logged in on almost anything. Most my accounts require 2FA. Huge discouragement for all kinds of things.
- Most of the web feels completely broken and miserable (because it is, all things I turned off are supposed to be optionals).
- My phone feels sterile. Text, clock, occasional Maps navigation, bank, pagerduty, etc. I hardly look at it.
I am still fairly addicted to YouTube though. History off, comment box hidden and recommendations hidden helps, but I still spend too much time on it. I once did the thing of hiding thumbnails, votes, description and channel name (only title and duration visible). It was good, I need to try that again.
