Was trying to read a news story and... What fresh shitfuckery is this? Why do I now have to pay money to a company just for the privilege of not being spied upon and not getting your cookies that I don't want or need? How is this even legal?

RE: "Why are you even reading that shitrag?" -- I clicked on a link someone posted in another sublemmit, didn't realise it was the Sun till after. I do not read the Sun on the regular, chill. My point stands regardless that this is extremely shitty and should probably not be allowed.

Okay, but that's still a lot of effort, and loads more effort than 90% of users would be willing to go through. All so these fucks can (try to) sell my data to 19000 different 'vendors' and their 'legitimate interests'. I swear this needs to be legally regulated somehow before we end up having to pay these people to not monitor our webcams while we read their shitty tabloids.

BTW I do use searXNG and Startpage

If you're on Firefox, you can also have certain sites automatically open in containers. "Sure, put cookies on my machine if you want. You can see me only browsing your website ever."

That's the solution I've landed on for using Youtube, since Invidious and Piped always cack the bed for me. I've deleted my old Google account and started a new one with a fake email address, too.

Good strategy for dealing with them. Reminds me that on the Hacker News article about the Internet Archive hack, a couple of commenters reported on whether they found their email addresses in the leak. They called them their "unique-to-archive.org email addresses."

The more we compartmentalize, the better off we are, I think.

Oh, thats neat. Didn't know about that feature. Thanks :)

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Containers are great.

What do you think - cookie autodelete sound a little more private? “If you can’t fingerprint my browser, this might as well be my first visit to this website“

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Cookie autodelete would be great, though then you potentially have to deal with the cookie popup every time you visit. Not a terrible thing, but worth noting.

ETA: Yeah, you can zap it with uBO, but then you might have to do it again if it comes back.
