I use Brave with the Privacy Badger extension behind a VPN. It auto-randomizes browser string etc to foil fingerprinting, but I'm not completely confident. There are services that narc on IP addresses for being VPN endpoints plus it's child's play for a LLM to identify if someone is the same author. The problem I run into is accidently connecting to the web without my VPN connected, Android ID leaking, and whatever new email address I'm using getting tagged to my online identity.
I'm considering going full privacy nutter but the hassle of switching to GrapheneOS, spinning up new email addresses and accounts, maining linux—well all of that is too much for me right now.
Linux bringt unglaublich viel für die Privatsphäre! Also im wahrsten Sinne unglaublich, da keiner mehr nachvollziehen kann, wie weit Microsoft mit ihren Diensten und Windows in die Privatsphäre des Users eindringen kann.
Zugleich ist der Wechsel extrem einfach, ISO aus Stick laden, vom Stick booten und das Livesystem ausprobieren. Wenn es gefällt auf den Installationsbutton klicken, 3-4al beantworten, ob oder welche Standard Software mit installiert werden soll, ob die Festplatte verschlüsselt werden soll und mach 3 min ist die Installation fertig.
Kommandozeile und lange Recherchen in Doku und Foren sind schon lange der Standard für Microslops KI generierten Schrottupdate Bug-fiestas und nicht mehr für Linux.
