Which browser do you use and why?
-
interesting, so you just back up your ~/.password-store directory? You use the same thing on Android or something else?/
I am using KeePass, it generates password and also TOTP. Works fine but I want to switch to something more Linuxy. Keepass is great but you really depend on a 3rd party.

I'm probably not the best person to talk to about Firefox hardening. Because... I don't. I only go as far as using firefox containers.
My threat model is to counter:-
- ISP data logging
- government filters
- region blocking
- hyper-personalised marketing
I use a VPN for the first three, and I use Ublock, and don't use google/meta/twitter/amazon/ebay for last.
I personally believe it is impossible to escape fingerprinting unless you're on Tor Browser, but using Tor paints you as a target in my country per the first item above.
I also work in financial services, and am a user of my company's product. We do significant 'device intelligence' and 'behavioral intelligence' on client devices, auth attempts, and actions taken in sessions. Log in too many times from too many different (seemingly) devices, user agents, IP addresses, regions, etc and it increases our customer risk assessment of you. Tick over a threshold and your account falls under enhanced customer due diligence. Tick over another threshold, and we'll set auto-blocks until we can investigate. I assume that any other financial services provider worth their salt would do the same to counter fraud, money laundering, and meeting sanctions.
I basically use a split tunnel VPN. VPN traffic for general browsing, email, etc. And looking as much as a regular user as possible when accessing financial services, government websites, etc.
And yeah, agree LibreWolf is great. Only downside for the average user is the lack of an auto-updater. So the only tweak i'd do with LibreWolf would be to set up a cron/systemd timer to update it nightly.

Vivaldi because:
- built in ad and tracking blocker
- Clear, easy to understand privacy policy
- best UI customizability
- hibernates tabs
- clear and sensible business model
- not vc funded.
- webdav support for calendar syncing
If i had to choose something fully floss i would go with librewolf.

I used to use variations of Firefox but I got tired of websites not being compatible so sometimes I use chrome

I fail to understand the question mark at the end of your sentence.
-
Yes, this tiny
-
It's a casual English language construction of the 90s. It's equivalent to "FF is evil?" And implies that the writer believes that it didn't used to be.
-
Basically a firefox skin, although they have a VPN as a sponsor, did somebody did a thorough check on that browser?
-
I’ve never had that happen. What sort of websites
-
Poorly-designed ones.
-
Gotta say, you have a point. Too lost in the privacy sauce to really notice it earlier.
-
What issues?
-
I use Firedragon, because it's the only browser I could find that has a vertical tab-bar that collapses. Supposedly Zen does it, too, but I couldn't get it to work.
Firedragon also has a toolbar to the side with a notepad and other neat stuff. I haven't used that yet, but it could be cool.

The UI and dialogue boxes look a bit dated, not sure why
-
Thanks I'll give it a go
