A few simple steps to vastly increase your privacy online
Whenever I come across one of those articles promoting "use Firefox instead of Chrome" I wonder if I'm the only one having those huge performance issues with Firefox on macOS. I seriously tried to make the switch from Chrome to Firefox a few times in the recent years because of all the dark patterns Google is pushing upon its userbase with Chrome, version after version. But Firefox feels significantly slower, makes the MBP fans go crazy and drains the battery like hell.I've come to the conclusion that at this point it's no option for me to make the final switch to Firefox, as much as I'd like to. But I try to cut off Google's prying eyes from my browsing behaviour as much as possible:- uBlock Origin + Privacy Badger is all you need to block the most nasty privacy invaders, seriously.- I don't use the sync feature.- I don't use Gmail, so there's no reason to login to my Google account, ever.- I used Youtube's thumbs-up button as sort of bookmarks for my favorite videos, now I have a bookmarks folder for Youtube videos, which is ok for me, but might not be for everybody.- automatically clear browsing data after quitting Chrome.My dream browser would be Firefox with Chromium under the hood, but that's not very likely to happen...
