A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

I think Youtube Anti Translate only works on video titles and descriptions? There's Youtube No Translate which does the same and also keeps the audio track in the original language so you don't get a shitty AI dub
Thanks!
Many commenters mentioned ublock, but don't forget to enable additional filters for shit like cookie banners or other annoyances
For vanilla FF I use multi - account containers, uBlock, and privacy badger.
For other FF forks like Librewolf, I get more blocky, like JShelter, a random agent switcher, and if that breaks a site beyond use I try Chameleon and NoScirpt.

For me:
- uBlock origin
- Libredirect
- Decentraleyes (Although I don't really know how much it really helps for privacy)
LocalCDN is more up to date then Decentralize.
I use it with umatrix
Ublock origin and privacy badger
No one mentioned Privacy Badger yet. Is there something I don't know?
uBlock Origin is a lot better.
Privacy Badger can actually be detrimental because it makes you more unique while adding basically nothing useful.
I like how Privacy Badger replaces tracking icons/widgets. I’m guessing uBO just removes them outright? I haven’t really bothered to check the differences.
Yes ublock will just completely block/remove all tracking and annoyances, plus whatever other filters you enable.
