Question on that topic, is blocking JavaScript generally advised in browser settings? I've tried it once or twice and noticed things like login buttons might not work. Any difference with using the extensions?
JavaScript. Two very different things. Though Java can also be as it's used in backend quite a lot.
Awesome explanation. Thank you! I've been getting more into privacy and security here and there and I've also degoogled with graphene, run brave with strict blocking, VPN with ad blocking, etc. I knew JavaScript could be bad but never looked into it much. I may make that my next endeavor.
Yeah. I'm trying to compromise based on "threat level" but I'm also happy to try a way to f*** over the data tracking/profiling anyway I can. Lol
