Afaik it's better to just use uBlock origin.

Why not both?

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

replaceable by ubo, therefore redundant
enables DNI which is useless and makes it easier to track you
(maybe outdated) makes you easier to fingerprint in general

So what you are saying is that I should remove privacy badger?

Right now I use uBlock, privacy badger, canvas defender and decentraleyes together.

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

uBlock is all you need. Take what I say with a grain of salt though, I might be wrong :p

Go to settings on your phone, VPN, turn all that crap on.

Thanks, totally random lemmy user who is entirely unaffiliated with duckduckgo!

i bet he gets paid $billions for that 2 Lemmy upvotes on an obscure community… and then billions to post a bunch of regular comments to make his account look human….

or maybe they’re just overly enthusiastic about a nonprofit service

If you were Gordon Ramsay asking me if I was taking the piss, I'd probably grin and turn my head

kiiiinda

I am very over the top happy with the service considering it's free and I hate ads and hate being tracked.

But if you know someone at DuckDuckGo and they would pay me, I would go stand on the street corner with a sign. Fuck. Tracking. We need real privacy laws.

The Fourth Amendment is just for this. I consider my phone like I would a filing cabinet in my office. I don't understand why the laws don't apply.

I'd be happy to learn why this is getting downvoted. This kind of easy to use tracker blocker works, does it not ?

[–] Sequence5666@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mozilla does this too with MULLVAD dns

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'm not familiar with mall vad, although Just recently I saw a billboard with multivad VPN.
