I follow (according to my taste and needs) arkenfox's user.js prescriptions. Two points to add. 1) I (nowadays) use this relatively unique profile in a unique browser to access the big cats of the e-oligopoly. As a foreigner, therefore, all data in this profile are belong to them, so to speak. There my contribution to thee. 2) I even surf in what they manage to suggest, and let them bots spy each other spying my not clicking any of the bait. So far I still get the fish, so I'm not thinking much of plan b, seriously ;P. Edited December 26, 20232 yr by dmiranda

This needs to be patented and saved in a dedicated topic, memorised for the future generations! Thank you for sharing, AstroSkipper!
December 26, 20232 yr Arkenfox stuff (including its precedents) has been around for more than a decade, I reckon. So has UB. Both work well in mypal68, provided you read with attention.
December 26, 20232 yr Just as an illustration, see the printout of lightbeam (addon that shows the sites you visit, and the resources (cdn, fonts, etc) they take from the cloud. These are 200 pages/subpages I visit almost daily, for work and leisure (all mainstream). For my research I have similar pics in sp52. If you visit those sites without proper settings, the app will show not the neat balls you see below, but a bunch of interconnected meshes made of sites, and of the common resources they use to keep our attention. To avoid that interconnection means privacy. But that information remain in your isp, and the multiple cloud-spaces where (generic) you have most of your data, which makes that information a security issue. For that reason, site/tab isolation (containerization) is a must. And for that reason, you should use, if your hardware allows, multiprocess. Edited December 26, 20232 yr by dmiranda
December 26, 20232 yr Just for clarification, I do not and have not previously used Arkenfox user.js in Mypal 68 (or any other Firefox-based browser, Edge or Chrome which are all definitely off-topic here). Edited December 26, 20232 yr by AstroSkipper Update of content

December 28, 20232 yr Gawd .. privacy.resistFingerprinting So yeah, its keeps the browser at the preferred space but I expand it anyway to fit my screen which makes me even more unique. As as to: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-against-fingerprinting privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterbox https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/23313/today-there-is-privacy-resistfingerprinting-letterbox-which-prevents-firefox-tor with that set to true it makes it not enjoyable so I go without it. Just sayin, is all ... hopefully @feodor2 will come up with something to scramble or poison the canvas. Edited December 28, 20232 yr by XPerceniol
December 28, 20232 yr Hi @XPerceniol, in mypal68, Chamaleon (successor of legacy xul random user agent extension) allows you to fake your screen size, among other things. It won't protect you from super-agent Maxwell Smart (CONTROL), but it will keep your privacy with most sites, unless you whitelist them (as you have to with the e-oligololy).
December 28, 20232 yr Thank you, @dmiranda, very much appreciated that you took the time to tell me that. I still have a lot to learn really from you folks.
