I achieve this by having multiple users in Chrome. My main user is signed into my google account and has no extensions installed and all plugins disabled, I only access gmail and google services with it.
My second user account is logged into basic services like HN, reddit, amazon and has only adblock and disconnect installed.
A third user is not logged in anywhere and has adblock and a half-dozen other extensions installed including UA switcher. No plugins installed and cookies + cache cleared every day.
4th user has all the anonimity extensions installed and has privoxy + tor set as the proxy
I use Facebook in a completely different browser again, YouTube and video watching in yet another and development in chromium.
7 or 8 different cookie stores, and a throwaway temp email account associated with the 3rd and 4th user for signing up to services.
Start out by creating a separate user for browsing sites and eventually develop your own way to split up your web browsing profiles.
This can get a bit messy when you try and access from tablet or mobikle , but I'd rather not have a single large profile and a huge exploit surface and sacrifice browsing history and remembering passwords.
- broolstoryco 13y agohonestly this sounds like a pain in the ass
- nikcub 13y agoStart off with two profiles and go from there. I use virtual desktops (spaces on OS X) to manage it. Space 2 is gmail, space 3 is logged in sites, space 4 is development, etc. Once you get used to it you instinctively switch without thinking about it I also created an app for OS X that creates temporary throwaway browser sessions for any supported browser you have installed: https://github.com/nikcub/tmpbrowser https://github.com/nikcub/tmpbrowser Makes it easier than using command line options and creating users
- unbeli 13y agoWhat exactly are you trying to achieve with that, if I may ask?
- dictum 13y agoWhat exactly are companies trying to achieve with very precise, self-healing tracking methods?
- nikcub 13y agosecurity and privacy - separate rings of trust for different websites. to me the idea of trusting every website on the internet with all of your cookies, extensions and plugins is crazy.
