canvasblocker’s default settings let images appear but the hash is different upon page reload. so if i were to use rfp, is there any way i can have viewable images and privacy? also how does ublock replace clearurls and noscript?

i would use rfp but it causes images to look like a glitchy mess.

for privacy:

  • ublock origin (default settings)
  • noscript
  • privacy badger (by eff)
  • canvasblocker
  • localcdn
  • clearurls

additionally, i also use bitwarden for password managing, libredirect for automatically redirecting to alternative privacy front-ends, xbrowsersync for syncing bookmarks, and snowflake for tor censorship circumvention.

none. chromium is a google (-endorsed) product, who put their own little tracking tidbits into the chromium project. if you still want to use a chromium-based browser, i have two ‘suggestions’:

  • brave. renowned in the privacy community but has had a few suspicious moments, and honestly i just don’t trust their whole big-tech thing they got going on.
  • ungoogled-chromium. basically just the chromium browser but without the google shit in it. no extra privacy-advancing features as far as i’m aware though, and extensions don’t seem to work.

now if you really want a good browser, go for either of the following firefox-like browsers:

  • firefox with arkenfox user.js. firefox as you know and love it, with the arkenfox privacy tinkering. i haven’t tested it and its apparently a bit difficult to install and configure, but i’ve heard its really helpful with privacy.
  • librewolf. a privacy-first firefox fork developed by an independent developer and contributors, no big-tech bullshit. my personal daily driver.

anyway, sorry for the rant, but there u go.

just a note on that: ubuntu isn’t considered the most private linux distro because it includes closed-source software which might run in the background and track the user. i’m not entirely certain on exact details though, especially not for ubuntu server, so i’m probably wrong lol. also, minecraft, owned by microsoft, is closed-source and the bedrock edition and most recent versions of java edition have telemetry and collect user data. if you want to stick with minecraft, use the ‘notelemetry’ mod, otherwise i suggest the minetest engine with the mineclone2 game. ok long rant over.

i’m pretty sure reddit’s api allows a certain amount of requests from an ip address before the user has to actually pay for it. or something along the lines of that.
