    I’m so happy to be out of the dating phase of my life. I wouldn’t stand a chance with my tinfoil hat settings like deactivated recommendations, ad- and js-blocking and auto-deleting all cookies when closing a tab.

      What do you mean women don’t like a FOSS privacy-oriented user experience? Don’t they like going through 500 pages of documentation when Gentoo breaks only to realize all along that the problem was fixed by turning the computer off and on again?

      What do you mean men don’t like that either?? What kind of place is this?!

      auto-deleting all cookies when closing a tab.

      You know, I would never use auto-delete cookies because I want to stay logged into sites. However I do wish there was an extension or something that would delete all cookies except for manually whitelisted sites. Then random news websites wouldn’t be able to easily track all my visits, but I could stay logged into sites.

            In Firefox or any browser based on it:
            Open settings > Privacy & Security
            Under “Cookies and Site Data” check the box. For exceptions click the “Manage Exceptions…” on the right.

              Works great. Just wish it had an “export” button for the list so you could transfer the list between new installs/reinstalls

        On Librewolf the default is all cookies get cleared. When you go to a site you want to save cookies for, you can easily add it to the whitelist by clicking the lock icon in the URL bar and toggling on the “Keep cookies” option.

      It turns out it’s harder to meet a privacy-conscious partner but they really do exist in large numbers. Back in my day the dating scene for this type was the weed dealer’s house/apartment, but now that it’s legal I don’t know what the replacement is. Probably ren fairs or lighter hobbies like kite flying meetups lol.

      Why deactivate recommendations instead of being logged into YouTube using an email that exists only for the YT account?

          But if it is collecting data on how to recommend video just to the account that is only used for YT, it seems like it is well partitioned.
