Unfortunately many places don't give me any choice.

I use an authenticator app where i can.

@delirious_owl

It's voip phone, texts on data. Not accepted by every bank or 2 factor provider tho.

Thank you for the suggestions.

@delirious_owl

Gotcha. I guess i do have one, Google Voice, but for various reasons i don't like that for anything important.

Do you have any suggestions?

@delirious_owl

Hmm. When I'm in airplane mode on Wi-Fi i do not get text messages (sms). I might get calls but I'm not sure.

@delirious_owl

Interesting. But I do need to get messages and calls and airplane mode kills that.

@IllNess @j4k3

I turn my Bluetooth, NFC and Wi-Fi on when i need to use them, otherwise they're off.

Partly for privacy but also for battery life.

Do most people leave those on all the time?

@JustMarkov @dethada

Is Librewolf any different than Firefox with good privacy extensions?

@ChaosCoati @Chozo

Exactly.

But it's very easy and fast to temporarily thaw it when you want to apply for credit.

I've been doing it for years.

@navi @chevy9294

Just all the apple bloatware lol

@cupcakezealot @ekZepp

I use FF on desktop with ublock, fb fence and various settings tweaked.

On mobile I use FF with ublock and the blokada app (which blocks trackers in other apps too).

In that setup I get great privacy results at the eff testing tool. Do you have other tools you like to test with?

Really not sure what to do about the fingerprint, but otherwise feel pretty good.

I think I tried brave at some point and it didn't do as well. DDG browser didn't do as well.

@GregoryTheGreat @BarterClub

I hate video when a written article does the job, SO MUCH.

Like if you're showing me how to fix something in my car fine video. Discussing one web browser versus another? Text all the way.

I'm not going to watch the video in this post for that reason.
