Tired of misleading cookie banners? The EU Commission has finally proposed a solution: set your privacy preferences in the browser once, and never see another banner. Unfortunately, the tracking industry is pushing back – and so far, they’ve been successful. We need YOUR help to #KillTheCookieBanner!

        It’s tor browser without the tor network. You can use a vpn. Unless you’re trying to hide from a three letter agency or nation state, it is generally enough. And nobody who doesn’t already know this is going to have good enough opsec to make the difference matter when it comes to that.

          i don’t get what you mean by this. a browser is not a tor browser without going through the tor network.

          vpns completely expose you to the vpn provider, AND won’t help with anything related to privacy when using a regular browser that can be fingerprinted anyway.

          fingerprinting is the main way in which you are tracked on the internet.

            The alternative is exposing yourself to your isp. So it depends which one you trust more.

            Either way with https and dns over https browser traffic and dns requests should be well hidden from the isp or vpn provider.

              you are right. though as i said, what matter most is that the https site on the other end is 9/10 compromised by facebook, google or twitter scripts plus a slew of other ad companies. they are the ones tracking you everywhere.
