What is the bridge community and what website or what is the url for the bridge that you mentioned in this video that combines all three that you mentioned abouts 1 minutes and 10 seconds?
It’s in the description. Join either our Telegram, Matrix, or Discord. They’re all bridged already

Btw you dont need the privacy badger extension and the other extensions
You only need ublockorigen, https everywhere, cookie autodelete, decentraleyes, and also go to the hated one and set up these extensions from what he says
Will you do one on Brave hardening? thanks.
Yay, i’ve been waiting for this episode to come out for so long! :)
Been waiting for this. Thank you for the video!
🥳
@@techlore do a video on how to use NoScript and maybe UMatrix, too. I had to delete the former because I just didn't understand it and could get no nothing done on the internet...at least not quickly enough.
You actually don't need the HTTPS only extension now because the latest version of firefox has that option in settings.
Yay, thanks... lots a worthwhile add-ons I didn't know about.
Techlore you the best man
Great video, thanks a lot for your efforts 🌹
Good job! Keep up the good work ❤
Thank you, I hope you get lots of subs :)
😀 Thanks for the Tips
thank you so much for your videos! would you recomend vivaldi?
TY for telling me I needed no extensions or hardening for Brave. I was looking for that info. Changing nothing in Brave makes it an EXCELLENT browser since it'll have no real unique fingerprint. Now if we can get others to use it. I'm gonna try to harden Waterfox instead of FF. I may go back to FF, but between the slowness and the questionable business practices, I think we should get behind another Gecko/FF-fork. There's a newer one coming out...but, it may be TOO hardened for me.....we'll see.
Been waiting for this from a really really long time like before the universe was born.. 😜
So you said not to use sync in firefox, but I love my bookmarks and extensions and it can be pretty hard to remeber each of the extensions & bookmark you use, is there any way to sync them on some other cloud service (is it advisable?)
And what if we use Pocket for storing bookmarks, One can sign in Pocket and sync all the bookmarks across multiple devices.
Oh and the most important question: Which browser(s) to use for android, currently I have Firefox, Firefox Focus, Brave, Tor, Microsoft Edge, I delete cookies periodically but now I think I'll just change setting to clear cookies on exit.
Love your work, don't have money to support you right now but I'm still trying to figure out if I can do something to support. My friends and family don't take privacy much seriously but I still keep suggesting the to atleast take a dip into this topic and watch your channel, haven't succeeded yet, but someday.. maybe..
THANKS A LOT FOR Sharing the Knowledge
good videos so far, you said what you recommend, but what are you current settings?
Regards,
Everything I showed is pretty much exactly what I do

Would one of these extensions/add ons break TH-cam videos and keep them from playing?
In latest firefox on android....many ad ons don't seem to work, and also some like cookie auto-delete that was installed on my previous version have been removed.
Don't know what's up with firefox!
Is there any way we can use extensions in chrome app? Or is the kiwi browser a better option?
Cause firefox kinda lags a lot.
In the latest update of firefox, they support https-everwhere in their settings page. Therefore it is unnecessary to download httpseverywhere right?
But if you don't sync browser settings and you use multiple devices what do you do. Just keep typing things in again. And not accessing the correct bookmarks?
keep it up
Privacy Possum or Privacy Badger? Or both?
How do I add the addons to the toolbar as you have them?
Do you have any plans on making a Private Cloud guide or any privacy oriented cloud storage? Buying multiple HDD/SSD gets expensive, I'd like to backup files and pictures from multiple devices. Any Advice?
Good video idea. I’ll tell you your first option is to upload self encrypted data to the service of your choice. Ex. Uploading an encrypted Veracrypt container in Dropbox. As for services that are more privacy respecting, Mega is commonly mentioned as an improvement, but honestly I’d just use Nextcloud which is all self hosted.
I keep all my data local though so I’m not sure what exactly I would do.
@@techlore I've heard good things about pcloud for a privacy respecting cloud storage provider.
1:42 "send a do-not-track signal"
That in itself helps identify your browser. Websites don't have to honor it anyways.
source?
just because websites don't honour it, doesn't mean it identifies your browser. if they don't honour it, it's simply as if it's not enabled, in which case you should be using tracker blocking addons like Privacy Badger or Decentraleyes anyway
So I just noticed, that Canvas Defender seems to have been removed from the Chrome Web Store. Any idea why?
Because Google doesn’t want you to block it.
Some tweak in the about:config section break some websites (e.g. ebay is completely destroyed, pictures on other websites are missing) Does someone know which setting might cause this?
Where can we find the firefox tweaks page on your site ?
How are you managing bookmarks if you're not syncing Firefox?
What do u think of opera Mini
Does using Brave browser illuminate many of these necessary steps to do in Firefox?
@Somreek I’m always relaxed pal.
Isn't umatrix obselete if you use ublock origin advance section ?
Umatrix is really designed for power users in mind thanks to its extra granularity that ublock lacks. However, for most people, yeah, umatrix would be redundant.
Oh, Oh - Too Hard. i.e. - Amazon won't let me place an order, Tom's Hardware won't let me read a review - ad blocker issue - etc. I downloaded and install all the extensions in the Show More. How can a better understand these settings and adjust them to permit me to more easily navigate websites and be able to execute transactions?
But you missed a few great scripts that are mentioned on r/piracy mega thread.
Also nano defender is a miracle worker.
Privacy Badger keeps a plaintext page of pages it blocks.
3:20 but what if the web page does not support https?
after doing all these settings in firefox the 1password extentsion won't work anybody who knows how to fix?
I like your vids but in extension you overpower it. ublock origin for example can block scripts like noscript.
And ublock origin has nearly the same pattern like umatrix, you only need to active it in the settings.
This isn’t a Step 1 Step 2 guide. More so these are different extensions you can use, and you need to figure out what works best. Some extensions may or may not work well together. There are specific hardening guides for different threat models and use cases
Hello, there is no more Telegram link ? thank you.
Is noScript really necessary if you are using UMatrix
no
noScript is useful for banning scripts globally
Anyone try out Browser Plugs chrome extension to randomize fingerprinting?
This will be talked about in 3.10! Browser uniqueness and fingerprinting
Techlore When do you think that’ll be up?
2020/2021 update : FIrefox integrated https first by default
Yep! FYI, Go Incognito premium includes that as a disclaimer as well as several other updates from 2021. The changelog should include this soon as well
@@techlore FYI ?
Go incognito premium has his video updated aswell ?
(I'm gonna take it anyway to support your work/the work about FOSS, privacy, etc.)
FYI - For your info :) And yes, Go Incognito premium was produced within the last month, so I was able to omit sections and/or add disclaimers for areas that are outdated (Like Firefox new HTTPS.) Many production improvements, quizzes, guides, checklists, and more. Site has more info: techlore.teachable.com/p/go-incognito
@@techlore I will buy it anyway, thanks :D
And share it (free version)
Can I somehow add my password manager to the exception list when cookies are getting deleted with each restart?
I just don't want to log into my password manager everytime I'm closing firefox (using LastPass)
Firefox use harden!
So, can I delete javascript?
what about vivaldi?
i also want to know! what do you think about vivaldi?
Blocking Canvas fingerprinting is one of many variables in web fingerprinting. There's no point blocking it alone.
Lesson 10 talks about fingerprinting and browser uniqueness. It’ll be discussed.
@@techlore sweet. looking foward to it.
Probably don't need privacy badger when you have ublock origin
Privacy Badger is self learning, has customization per tracker, and can be used to block tracking cookies. I use both.
**Sultry voice** "I like my browsers extra-hard..."
If you install a lot of add-ons, you will become more unique and easier to fingerprint. So this doesn't necessary help you to be more anonymous.
Browser uniqueness is lesson 10, which will cover this exact issue 😁
Which is why I just use Brave for my main browser. I only use Chrome for Google sites like TH-cam to keep Google isolated from the rest of my browsing.
Basically disable all convenience settings
Imagine using a browser in 2020 made by Google. No hardening will fix that shit.
When I "harden " it--- it won't work with several of the sites I use regularly-- doesn't matter anyway-- if they want info they're going to get it!!! THERE IS NO SECURE any more-- other than just TURNING THE COMPUTER OFF and unplugging it-- as to mobile- THAT crap needs to be OUTLAWED and phones go back to just making calls..
