Idle detection and shape detection worry me. When used in combination they could be made to force you to watch ads, ads could autopause when you stop looking at them or are afk. I also wonder how much worse browser fingerprinting can get wi

Cities Skylines has an infinite money checkbox if I recall correctly. You'll still have to properly design the city so the people move there and build but game money won't be an obstacle. Edit: found it, it is the built-in unlimit

I configured Firefox to use my local DoH server instead. That way I don't have to fight against DoH, I get the (few) benefits of ESNI and can still choose what my upstream servers will be. Your solution is also good and it is what we c

I don't know, I'm not the one who reported that issue and I use a local DoH server, that way I make sure that when Firefox uses DoH I still have full control over it.
