@const_void It’s not about choosing distros in anyway, please read the post before you comment. 🙄

@simon @firefox Firedog :o

@CrabAndBroom Thank you, but I already covered this 😅 When you check my profile, you will see thats exactly the stuff I’m dealing with day by day, but ty! I may will take a look at OpenSnitch, but I think Portmaster is already covering this need.

@beta_tester Could you tell me more abt Distrobox and SElinux? I think I never heard of both before

@Corb_The_Lesser @linux Oh. Thank you a lot! Never discovered this lol

@keydelk @linux Hm, ig I will stick to Cinnamon, I don’t want to run into issues, using another environment which got discontinued by Linux Mint a few years before for some reasons.

Abt the browser and content blocking, is already done ;) Privacy and Security is one of the things I’m very good at, just wanted to know how to enchance the security of Linux Mint.

Btw. I would recommend uBlock Origin instead of ADP is leightweighter, customizable, opensource, non-commercial and pretty well. Since ADP had some controversies in the past.

@Corb_The_Lesser @linux

I’m pretty happy with Linux Mint so far, never tried Fedora, but I will take a look on it

If you use touchpad gestures, the new configuration options are useful.

Where can I find them?

@MuffinJets @linux Oh sorry, forgot to mention it, I’m using Cinnamon since I liked it the most

@GentriFriedRice There are multiply dectections and like mentioned in another comment there was multiply reports from Edge and Firefox users that they experienced the same issue.

@programmer_belch Not sure since I’m not so good at javascript, but I know abt several reports and articles that Edge users has the same issue as Firefox users.

@Asudox Firefox and Edge are two of the biggest competitors to Chrome, Edge is like a degoogled version of Chromium but with a bunch of Microsoft Trash instead, they don’t even have Google Safebrowsing or Google as default search engine like Firefox does.

@whale For me it works 🤷‍♂️
(tested with hardened Brave and Mull (hardened Firefox for Android Fork))

@sj_zero Just wanted to share this information, is not a recommendation which search engine you should use. Not everyone feel comfortable with using a search engine which is closed source and owned by a company, some rather wanna use a opensource search engine hosted by a invidual or a group of people, some other people prefer search engines like DuckDuckGo since they work put of the box without problems and have usually a better usability for the modt people, then SearX (or SearXNG) does.

@IronKrill Thats the same thing I think abt you guys, but alright.

@eya@lemmy.dbzer0.com May I ask why you think that? I their are good reasons to don’t use Firefox either…

@themoonisacheese If you think so 🤷‍♂️

@free Yep, thats why people invest a lot of time which have much more technical understanding than you have to create products to improve the privacy problem on Windows, Privacy isn’t a privilege which only a specific group of human is allowed to have, Privacy is a human right and should be accessable for everyone. If you miss the understanding for that, I would recommend informing yourself better then spreading false information.

@smeg You basically missread the article and it basically says, what I already mentioned and the extension is completly opensource I even checked the code myself. 🤦‍♂️
