I thought it would be helpful for all the good people of Lemmy World if we shared our browser setups.

I’m mostly a laptop user when it comes to the Internet. I’ve been using Firefox with the Ublock Origin addon and it makes browsing the web so much less ad filled.

For youtube specifically I’ve had the best results with Chrome and an extension called Clear Skies for ad skipping.

Share you own browser setup. What do you use to surf the wild waves of the web to avoid the sharks and the sharp rocks?

    You really cant rely on GUI settings at all. Edge cannot be made private very likely.

    Using Christitus WinUtil you can remove edge entirely, reinstall the webview afterwards its needed, replace it with Librewolf, Brave, thats basically it.

        I dont, but Brave at least has no Google and MS tracking and their own stuff seem to be possible to disable entirely via bravs:flags or a policy.

        They only have Windows docs though and I use firefox with hardening, compiled myself to work with hardened_malloc
