You can disable the state-less empty tab if you set zen.urlbar.replace-newtab on disabled in about:config

Found in release notes 1.8b:

Added support for a state-less empty tab (only enabled if 'zen.urlbar.replace-newtab' is enabled)

This. I like Discord because it's quick and convenient and it also is the only place where I can talk to my friends. My friends don't care about the shit services they use thus don't install the alternatives like WhatsApp > Signal.

Having to wave Discord goodbye, does pretty much mean that I wave the last bit of my online social life away. It also doesn't help that I don't like to go outside the door after a day of work...

What

https://github.com/hacksider/Deep-Live-Cam has worked for me, can be quite heavy on resources, but should be able to run on most machines with a Nvidia GPU

For images it shouldn't be very heavy and totally doable. Not sure if you can do multiple faces at once though

I can suggest Ameliorated together with MASSgrave to set a step in a somewhat right direction. You have choice from optimized windows to a private version of windows that have all connected parts to Microsoft stripped out.

This exactly tbh

Very interesting! I thought I was pretty familiar with what brands are within the same group, but dang. I'm not at all lol.

In December 2019, System1, an advertising (paid notice) company that claims to be focused on privacy, bought Waterfox. In July 2023, Alex Kontos said that Waterfox is an independent and separate project again.

I'm rather unsure about what is truly going on behind the scenes, but my trust in them is far to find...

Weird flex but ok

It's not just me??!!!

Completely agreed, there are die hard fans in the Graphene community that recommend nothing else than Graphene. Though, most of them just take security serious whereas others may just be looking for cool features and such, aha. One thing I loved on my OnePlus 7 Pro with crDroid was the amount of actual good and useful features it had. Things like: hold power bottom to turn on flashlight when screen is off, just made things so much easier. Now - on the Pixel 9 Pro XL I have to turn on my phone, swipe down, press flashlight and fail to do so 2 times. But - security. Everybody their own opinions, aha.

Thanks to you too for the kind reply!

Graphene was just one to name a bunch. But especially GrapheneOS has a very nice and easy install progress. Graphene is very stock android so to say, which isn't very liked among many. I don't even really like it myself - it lacks a lot of customisation. But security wise, you're in control.
