          • replaceable by ubo, therefore redundant
          • enables DNI which is useless and makes it easier to track you
          • (maybe outdated) makes you easier to fingerprint in general

            So what you are saying is that I should remove privacy badger?

            Right now I use uBlock, privacy badger, canvas defender and decentraleyes together.

              uBlock is all you need. Take what I say with a grain of salt though, I might be wrong :p

    Download DuckDuckGo browser. It has a built-in free VPN. Tracking blocker

    Go to settings on your phone, VPN, turn all that crap on.

            If you were Gordon Ramsay asking me if I was taking the piss, I’d probably grin and turn my head

          I am very over the top happy with the service considering it’s free and I hate ads and hate being tracked.

          But if you know someone at DuckDuckGo and they would pay me, I would go stand on the street corner with a sign. Fuck. Tracking. We need real privacy laws.

          The Fourth Amendment is just for this. I consider my phone like I would a filing cabinet in my office. I don’t understand why the laws don’t apply.

        I’d be happy to learn why this is getting downvoted. This kind of easy to use tracker blocker works, does it not ?

            I’m not familiar with mall vad, although Just recently I saw a billboard with multivad VPN.
