If you don’t have this kit you will be bombarded to Temu’s ads

If you want a usable mail for all your accounts that is also spam resistant, may I recommend https://port87.com
Thankfully I’m not very interesting so I can use Chrome. If someone wanna know what I’m up to they’d probably get bored and leave.
CTRL+P
Dear god. My inner 90’s kid wants this as a browser.
I have yet to see unpaywall workk ever. All that site does is link you to free versions if legally available. So it does nothing. Bypass Paywalls clean sometimes works, but if you want non mainstream sites going to archive.today is the most reliable option.
I noticed archive websites sometimes skip the paywall
If I can’t recover an account because I used temp mail
I just make another
Can’t you re-use those emails? I use random email aliases almost everywhere, and I store them in bitwarden.
You can re-use those but so does anyone, so you should consider those accounts as public.
Did not know Privacy Badger existed, it’s going right on the must have corner
UBO can block YT ads, no need to use a seperate ad blocker for YT
Sponsorblock to auto skip sponsor segments, or even non music parts of music on YouTube. Or interaction reminders, or end credits, etc can make it a little bit how you want it
Anyone know if there is a proper solution to block ads on twitch? ublock doesn’t work for me.
Anything on Pixeltris’ TwitchAdSolutions should work. I use the ublock filter and that works great.
I use one that works 90% of the time. I can’t remember the exact name so I’ll check when I get home but it’s something like “Purple Adblocker”.
there’s some good shit in these comments that I need to come back to later.
What’s with the control+P thing? I have the same paywall bypasser thing right next to it and it just works automatically without needing a special command.
without an extension you can grab the whole page as a PDF before it loads the paywall. you can also use Ctrl+A and Ctrl+V or the reading view function :]
Though some sites are getting smart enough to realize they can’t just entirely offload access control to the client and don’t give the full article text until you’ve jumped through whatever hoops they demand.
It’s a trade-off, because they often also want their entire article to be crawled by Google.
Just using the Brave browser takes care of a few of these by itself and without add-ons.
Lemmy could be better…
Care to provide more information?
I don’t like the federation part of it
I wish every instance was separate
it’s a reddit competitor that lacks features of reddit, including: multireddits, hiding individual posts, card view that doesn’t autoplay video, and more but I’m lazy.
I expect some of those can be found by using a different mobile app
not using an app. I refused to install reddit s app, I won’t install lemmys.
Lemmy apps are third party
Jerboa is technically First party. Doesn’t brand itself as the Lemmy app though.
There’s the features/app part already mentioned, but I also feel like there’s few “discoverability”. I’m glad Lemmy doesn’t has a addicting algoritm, but it’s also kind of hard to find new/diverse content that I like, and there’s also some issues in the community, but there’s unfortunately nothing to do about it.
Drop IDCAC and Privacy Badger, add consent-o-matic, sponsorblock and bypass paywall clean.
Check Arkenfox for Firefox config and extension recommendations.
https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions
Only use temp mails for unimportant, one-shot account, otherwise use an email relay.
What about Decentraleyes?
Arkenfox put it in the “Don’t bother” list: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions#-dont-bother
Thanks!
It’s insane how big a fight we have to put to JUST surf the damn Internet.
Why drop privacy badger? It’s been working well for me.
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
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.
There is also I still don’t care about cookies
I don’t see its usefulness, uBlock Origin’s “Cookie Notices” list does the same thing.
For consent forms consent-o-matic is better, IDCAC / ISDCAC was not created for this.
doesn’t consent o matic just accept cookies when it doesn’t know how to reject them?
Consent-o-matic is about consent forms, so it’ll fill the consent forms giving, by default, the least consent possible. If it doesn’t know how to handle a form it’ll just not auto-fill it so you’ll have to do it yourself. It’s not just about cookies, they are just one common way to acquire the data. IDCAC will just hide the form, because it was made to hide cookie notices and later extended to do the same for consent forms. According to the law not filling the form, not giving explicit consent, is like refusing it.
Anyway, none of these extension touch cookies directly, they are only about notice and consent forms. It’s up to the website to act accordingly. And none of this will do anything about necessary cookies, or more precisely, about any data deemed necessary, however it’s collected.
Ok any tips on how to manage email addresses to minimize their exposure and spam?
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.
Don’t give out your email to spammers
No shit Sherlock. The real cause of spammers getting your email is through data breaches. The only thing you can do about that is not use your personal mail address for every single website you create an account for.
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.
If you use iCloud mail (I don’t), they have an email relay service, too. They call them “email aliases.”
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
Firefox actually has their version of tempmail built in now.
Really? I didn’t know that! What is it called? How can I use it?
Email Relay Mask. It just pops up when I right click an email sign up field. You have to sign into Firefox with an email because it forwards stuff to you, but you can tell it to prevent that just as soon as you’ve got your validation email.
Link to see your current emails is: https://relay.firefox.com/accounts/profile/?
it’s not like a tempmail it’s like proxy email to hide your actual email. So if you sign up for spam the spam will reach your actual email.
Duckduckgo’s version is so much better. Unlimited aliases for free.
Yeah, you can block that at any point though.
