I still use reddit for purposes ranging from getting solutions to pastimes. Same for discord. There are a few communities on it that I need to be connected, most notably dev related.

What suggestions would you guys make? Are there any bridges/frontend I could use to get more privacy?

      yeah it did :( . Should I delete the account and only browse there? I sometimes pop in a comment to ask questions.

      Also speaking of containers, are you talking about firefox containers?

        They probably meant an entire virtual machine (which is only feasible on desktop/laptop as far as I know).

          No, I meant a container running a browser in it. An example of such a DIY container would be: Alpine base + Librewolf + Script to install necessary extensions in Librewolf and configure them + Guacamole as a VNC server. Or maybe just configuring X-forwarding (does that work with Podman) will do.

        AFAIK the only way to completely prevent trackers is to disable JS and even then people have created profiles of the TOR browser before.

        I am not confident in my ability to block every single fingerprinting method possible, so instead I’ll play their game against them.

          What do you mean by “people have created profiles of the TOR browser before”?

          It shouldn’t matter if you can identify the TOR browser, as long as different users of the TOR browser have the same fingerprint.
