Published my guide for "10 Basic Steps to Digital Privacy". I'm pretty proud of this one and would welcome feedback! https://gunther.link/posts/privacy-basics/

Since @bitwarden recently followed me, perhaps I should mention that they get a shout-out in this blog post!

@gunther I would add add "install uBlock Origin" to the "change browser " section. Then later I would have a list of addons to further enhance this. I would highly recommend 1) Privacy Possum 2) ClearURLs 3) Cookies Auto Delete 4) I don't care about cookies.

@fatboy Thanks for the feedback! uBlock Origin does get a shoutout in step 5, though I could probably write a whole post on browser hardening, though it would require a bit more research on my end.

@fatboy uBlock Origin now offers the basic parameter stripping feature of ClearURLs so I don't know how necessary both are. I have my browser set to clear cookies on exit, is there an advantage to the cookie auto-delete extension? I don't care about cookies is nice if you're clearing cookies anyway, but more about convenience than privacy if I'm not mistaken.

@gunther CAD removes cookies of tabs you close. Your current settings (without CAD), allows cookies to track your sessions.

@fatboy Privacy Possum looks like a better version of Privacy Badger, which is cool, though I'm not sure how much benefit it offers beyond uBlock Origin and hardened browser settings, I''d have to look into it. But thanks for all the suggestions!
