overwhelming majority is stupid one-time questions that i don't want clogging my history

I don't have history activated because I don't want to know the stupid shit I had to look up in the past. If I want to keep something, it gets bookmarked

A lot of lesbian porn. There, big deal. I just don't want it in my history in case one of the kids clicks the wrong link.

I don't have time to watch porn on a computer. I use my phone for pretty much everything. But sometimes I leave it lying around.

This thread just made me curious, and I found an addon to password protect a browser called "pale moon"

I don't know anything about it, but it might be a way for people to keep favorites saved while keeping a computer kid safe.

firefox is really heavy on telemetry and forcing ai down your throat in my experience, librewolf is firefox without all that and preconfigured strict privacy settings however fingerprinting is still a problem

Apparently sandboxing helps a lot with that. Noticed I get cloudflare prompts more often on random news sites than with firefox, so presumably they assume I might be a bot because I'm coming to their domain without an instantly readable fingerprint.

that's my experience as well, but i don't see it necessarily as a good sign.

Blocking all fingerprint indicator readouts is itself a fingerprint.

It's like being the only person who is going into the shop with a ski mask on.

Sure no one can see your face but you are less likely to be served and you are recognizable as the person with the ski mask on.
