    I usually try to keep at least one Chromium and Firefox-based browser on my system at any given time. There really aren't any better alternatives at the moment. With Ublock Origin on the way out, it is the only browser with that kind of functionality built in due to it being a fork of it. I only ever use it for stuff that doesn't usually require careful opsec. For anything like that, I would use the Tor browser as you've rightly pointed out.

    @Saorsa @alex @xaetacore @musha If you want an alternative to Brave that has also that kind of functionality, I recommend Helium, its based on ungoogled chromium (a pretty good alternative too) and has some privacy-focused changes, one of them is the native ublock Origin. For the Firefox, I have Tor browser as it also serve as the Tor client, but I rarely use it.

    I would give it a try if its the first time you hear about it! Brave is not a bad option either if you care to configure it, but I don't like it's ideas and his extremely homophobic creator.

    I would also take some advice, specially with Android browsers, I don't use it much, so I do use Brave there, but Helium isn't avaliable for Android, so if you have better chromium alternatives, let me know.

          At least icon themes can help change that somewhat.

                Bit extreme for something so minor. Though, stupid shit like that really should be exposed through a configuration file instead of requiring recompilation.

                Mad that Sharkey is the same for one of the settings on that as well.

                        I hope for your sake at the very least that you're using the IoT Enterprise edition with all the group policies tuned to reduce as much of the telemetry as possible.

                              Problem with that, though is on your typical home and professional editions, with every update the bloat will end up getting reinstalled and the registry hacks reverted.

                              The only way to use Windows at this point is through the IoT Enterprise edition with group policies configured to reduce as much of the telemetry as possible.

                                    @Saorsa @alex @xaetacore @musha Something else that can be done is using Windows server.

                                    Of course you will have to get it illegally since chances are that your computer is worth less than what they ask you to use the OS and I don't know how Win11 ​​ Server is, but the Windows 10 versions were much better (in my experience) than the LTSC versions with some debloating tools.

                                        @Saorsa @alex @xaetacore @musha Something else that can be done is using Windows server.

                                        Of course you will have to get it illegally since chances are that your computer is worth less than what they ask you to use the OS and I don't know how Win11 ​​ Server is, but the Windows 10 versions were much better (in my experience) than the LTSC versions with some debloating tools.
