Drop IDCAC and Privacy Badger, add consent-o-matic, sponsorblock and bypass paywall clean.

Check Arkenfox for Firefox config and extension recommendations.

Only use temp mails for unimportant, one-shot account, otherwise use an email relay.

Why drop privacy badger? It's been working well for me.

[–] ivn@jlai.lu 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Because it doesn't bring anything more than Firefox in strict mode and uBlock Origin.

FF blocks Facebook et al widgets in strict mode now? This is news to me, news indeed. Thanks for the tip

[–] ivn@jlai.lu 15 points 10 months ago

Not exactly.

uBlock Origin blocks the widgets (with the "EasyList – Social Widgets" blocklist, I don't remember if it's on by default). As would any other blocklist based blocked do like Privacy Badger, uBO is just better.

FF's strict mode has something called Total Cookie Protection that makes it so Facebook widget on site A cannot read the cookie dropped by the Fackebook widget on site B. It isolate 3rd party cookies for each website.

It also has built-in Facebook Container to isolate Facebook links.

Ok any tips on how to manage email addresses to minimize their exposure and spam?

[–] ivn@jlai.lu 5 points 10 months ago

Yeah, use an email relay service like Firefox Relay, SimpleLogin, the one from Proton if you have an account with them (that's SimpleLogin behind)…

You can create email aliases, that will relay the email to your main address. Create a new alias for each website so they can't use your email address to correlate your identity and you can close it anytime, you can even configure an alias to only allow a set amount of messages and auto-close afterward.

Addy.io gives you email aliases as not to expose your actual email address. Everything gets funnelled into a single inbox of your choosing still. And the great thing is that if you use a unique email alias for all services, you know instantly who leaked your email address if you start getting spam. :D

Thanks for the list. Now I can ditch Decentraleyes and LocalCDN among others.

It looks like bypass paywalls clean was actually taken down recently. Apparently mozzila recieved a copyright claim and it was taken down as a normal part of that process :/

I didn't think I could install via a file on android, but it turns out you actually can! Thanks for the link :)

There is also I still don't care about cookies

[–] ivn@jlai.lu 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't see its usefulness, uBlock Origin's "Cookie Notices" list does the same thing.

For consent forms consent-o-matic is better, IDCAC / ISDCAC was not created for this.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

doesn't consent o matic just accept cookies when it doesn't know how to reject them?

[–] ivn@jlai.lu 3 points 10 months ago

Consent-o-matic is about consent forms, so it'll fill the consent forms giving, by default, the least consent possible. If it doesn't know how to handle a form it'll just not auto-fill it so you'll have to do it yourself. It's not just about cookies, they are just one common way to acquire the data. IDCAC will just hide the form, because it was made to hide cookie notices and later extended to do the same for consent forms. According to the law not filling the form, not giving explicit consent, is like refusing it.

Anyway, none of these extension touch cookies directly, they are only about notice and consent forms. It's up to the website to act accordingly. And none of this will do anything about necessary cookies, or more precisely, about any data deemed necessary, however it's collected.
