Use a vpn with a Eu server. More sites like google will show a cookie popup with the “reject all cookies” option.
Reject all cookies if it exists. Otherwise accept cookies and then click on the :
shield icon > cookies and site data > delete (trash icon)
This is super useful when you want to read an article on some news website and it shows a cookie popup.
You must log in or # to comment.
I have a question about hiding system clock information from all browsers as well. Because this is a sanity check more and more apps and browsers are doing to disuade people from using a VPN.
How to prevent tracking:
- Run on TailsOS
- Use Tor Browser at the safest level
If you are using Firefox based browser get Consent-o-matic. It will actively opt you out of cookie windows instead of hiding them like others do.
There are so few sites that should leave a cookie I just set it to purge everything on browser close, and then make exceptions for the ones who actually should leave a cookie.
Pretty sure every browser now has the option to dump all the data when it closes.
I would do that but I want to stay logged in on some websites like lichess.
The login scene is so terrible nowadays with 2fa, passkeys etc. It’s not as easy as just remembering a password or using a simple password manager.
Look for ‘manage exceptions’ in the settings if your browser is Firefox-based.
Just whitelist the ones you want to keep. Pretty sure Firefox now let’s you whitelist, I use a plug in because I’ve been doing it that way for years (ie before ff had the option)
Wait, foxfire does it natively now? I’ve been installing cookie autodelete for years
I assumed you meant the whitelisting not the autodelete - cookie autodelete on close has been in FF for years, but some time recently they brought in whitelisting as well - go to settings, privacy and security, cookies and site data, manage exceptions
Might be worth deleting CAD and use the inbuilt option to reduce canvas fingerprinting
Deleting cookies on close? I had my Firefox set up to do that about 20 years ago
Oh. Turns out I just wasn’t looking properly
Pretty sure i saw it the other day and yeah me too on CAD
Use two browsers. One for logins, the other dumps all data on close.
A VPN is useless. You’re introducing another entity that can track you.
Pick your poison.
A VPN actually hides your IP from the webpage.
Websites don’t need your IP to accurately remember you and track you. Using a VPN only helps when you want to hide stuff from your ISP, nothing else.
Does it hide your IP from the VPN provider?
So does CGNAT.

I use Waterfox which forgets all data on exit, with Privacy Badger and Port Authority extensions with no exclusions.
So far, no sites really “break”, if anything, they’re a little quicker… reading mode is nice to get passed paywall popups on most sites that want a subscribe.
If at work, I include the company-provided password manager for all my sites I need. Still works well (unless my post gets attention and companies try to break it)
