    Hey there, i've read alot about

    Decentraleyes, HTTPS everywhere etc...
    i already use uBlock origin for a while and it's fantastic..
    But my friends who knows alot about computers, recommends me to use Decentraleyes, HTTPS everywhere..

    But can someone explain me why i should use it, and for what it's exactly good

    And do you recommend it? :)
     
  2. From my knowledge, Firefox now has built-in privacy protection such as blocking trackers and the like.

    Both are outdated and inactive PUP. Absolutely not recommended, even if they can still be installed till now.
    And if someone "very smart" advises you to eat a s**t, then just don't eat, maybe "Best Before" is over already.

    So there's no need to use HTTPS everywhere and Decentraleyes these days?
    I've always used uBlock origin on Chrome, but i think i will switch over to Firefox, because Google is planning to change their browser so they can kill adblockers.. that's not fair. :eek:

    That's not what I we said. Personally I said HTTPSE will become more and more obsolete, that doesn't mean it wouldn't make sense to use it (for you). Decentralize overall is still a good recommendation.

    Again if you want to use Chrome/Chromium based browsers, use brave or the naked Chromium builds (they continue to support ad-block).

    Stick with Tor-Over-VPN + OpenVPN, make sure IPv6 is disabled everywhere (OS settings, router, all devices), stick with obfuscated VPN servers, disable WebRTC, use your VPN's DNS (or at least don't use ISP DNS). Some say you should not use uBlock Origin with Tor to appear like everyone else on the network, while others disagree. There are many other factors to consider, but those are the main ones.

    Not long ago, WebRTC was not disabled by default in Firefox and by Tor-Over-VPN, I meant what you suggested - OpenVPN + Tor. What I am curious about is whether your ISP can figure our your OpenVPN login username password.

    The commands belong directly in the .openvpn files.

    Not from what I know, some sites block the User Agent, the traffic itself, specific ports or Firefox (based on fingerprinting). There are various things you could try but please stay on topic.

    What you mean with (The naked chromium builds) like the new Chromium edge?
