@const_void It’s not about choosing distros in anyway, please read the post before you comment. 🙄

@simon @firefox Firedog :o

@CrabAndBroom Thank you, but I already covered this 😅 When you check my profile, you will see thats exactly the stuff I’m dealing with day by day, but ty! I may will take a look at OpenSnitch, but I think Portmaster is already covering this need.

@Corb_The_Lesser @linux Oh. Thank you a lot! Never discovered this lol

@keydelk @linux Hm, ig I will stick to Cinnamon, I don’t want to run into issues, using another environment which got discontinued by Linux Mint a few years before for some reasons.

Abt the browser and content blocking, is already done ;) Privacy and Security is one of the things I’m very good at, just wanted to know how to enchance the security of Linux Mint.

Btw. I would recommend uBlock Origin instead of ADP is leightweighter, customizable, opensource, non-commercial and pretty well. Since ADP had some controversies in the past.

@Corb_The_Lesser @linux

I’m pretty happy with Linux Mint so far, never tried Fedora, but I will take a look on it

If you use touchpad gestures, the new configuration options are useful.

Where can I find them?

@MuffinJets @linux Oh sorry, forgot to mention it, I’m using Cinnamon since I liked it the most

@GentriFriedRice There are multiply dectections and like mentioned in another comment there was multiply reports from Edge and Firefox users that they experienced the same issue.

@programmer_belch Not sure since I’m not so good at javascript, but I know abt several reports and articles that Edge users has the same issue as Firefox users.

@Asudox Firefox and Edge are two of the biggest competitors to Chrome, Edge is like a degoogled version of Chromium but with a bunch of Microsoft Trash instead, they don’t even have Google Safebrowsing or Google as default search engine like Firefox does.

@whale For me it works 🤷‍♂️
(tested with hardened Brave and Mull (hardened Firefox for Android Fork))

@sj_zero Just wanted to share this information, is not a recommendation which search engine you should use. Not everyone feel comfortable with using a search engine which is closed source and owned by a company, some rather wanna use a opensource search engine hosted by a invidual or a group of people, some other people prefer search engines like DuckDuckGo since they work put of the box without problems and have usually a better usability for the modt people, then SearX (or SearXNG) does.

@IronKrill Thats the same thing I think abt you guys, but alright.

@eya May I ask why you think that? I their afe good reasons to don’t use Firefox either…

@themoonisacheese If you think so 🤷‍♂️

@free Yep, thats why people invest a lot of time which have much more technical understanding than you have to create products to improve the privacy problem on Windows, Privacy isn’t a privilege which only a specific group of human is allowed to have, Privacy is a human right and should be accessable for everyone. If you miss the understanding for that, I would recommend informing yourself better then spreading false information.

@smeg You basically missread the article and it basically says, what I already mentioned and the extension is completly opensource I even checked the code myself. 🤦‍♂️

@smeg It seems like you miss the technical knowledge. Let me explain. Bad for security; this extension is so simply made there is basically nothing you could rly exploit and the only thing this extension is able to manage ur other extensions not more. Bad for privacy; it’s not since not every extension can be fingerprinting, only extensions which modify or do things related to the site you access. Websites don’t have by default access to the extensions you have installed.
