Resorting to insults never makes your position a good one, friend. Give me some evidence please that the Israeli government would finance a terrorist group bent on killing Jews. They literally have this in their founding documents.

So it's THEIR fault that Hamas came in and murdered, tortured, mutilated, and raped innocents families on October 7th? Seriously? You realize how insane that sounds?

They're going after Hamas and there's been collateral damage, such happens in every war. If they wanted to commit genocide, why wouldn't they just carpet bomb the place instead of sending in leaflets to warn people to leave and even risk the lives of their own troops? By your definition, Hamas is also committing genocide against the Israelis.

Well I like you and I'm sorry you're going through these hardships.

After reading through this whole thread, that's exactly what I'm doing.

Ooh, I like this! Much appreciated.

Hmm, interesting tool! With just Brave blocking I get 96%, but turning on uBO, I get 100%.

So you don't use any extensions then?

Is PrivacyBadger not made redundant by uBlock or any of the other extensions?

Noted! I have been looking into Librewolf... Why is Ghostery not useful?

 

So as the title mentions, I'm wondering how much is too much?

I am currently using Brave with the setting to:

  • Aggressively block trackers & ads
  • Only connect with HTTPS
  • Block fingerprinting
  • Block cross-site cookies

In addition to that, I have installed the following extensions:

  • uBlock Origin
  • Ghostery
  • Decentraleyes
  • DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials

So my question is: Is this overkill? If so, what should/could be removed that may be redundant? I want as much coverage as possible, but not have things bloated.

 

So I saw this new "app" is wanting to be installed onto my system, and naturally I was curious what it was.

So I read the description and it seems that it's just another case of Google moving a system service onto the Play Store so that they can update it separately from system updates.

I was surprised though at how many users are blaming it for slowdowns, things crashing, and other headaches...

Is this just a case of the uninformed looking for a scapegoat for their problems, or is there a cause for concern?

(Not like I have much of a choice though, as I'm sure it'll install eventually alongside my other app updates anyway)

Edit: for whatever reason, I can only access the link I shared in this post on my Android phone - I can't access it on anything else. Also I'm based in the US, so a regional block might also happen, I'm guessing.
