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.

It's insane how big a fight we have to put to JUST surf the damn Internet.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Don't give out your email to spammers. Most legitimate businesses might send quite a lot of mail, but it's very often easy to unsubscribe so do that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours 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

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 hours 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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours 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.
