Yes and no, I've treated the symptoms, but not the problem. All it takes is a trillion dollar company buying a new domain every once in a while to foil uBlock, and now that it's more known, anyone can create an an app that opens ports and listens for trackers.

Would love it if Firefox would let me block all requests to localhost.

And she suggests using fresh chilis, lime leaves, and basil.

To be clear for the gringos in the chat, these would be "Thai chili peppers", "kaffir lime leaves", and "Thai basil", all of which should be readily available at your nearest Asian market.

You snip some leaves off the citrus tree in your backyard, add some jalapeños, and sweet basil you're gonna have a whole different dish.

We found that browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Edge are susceptible to this form of browsing history leakage in both default and private browsing modes. Brave browser was unaffected by this issue due to their blocklist and the blocking of requests to the localhost; and DuckDuckGo was only minimally affected due to missing domains in their blocklist.

Aside from having uBlock Origin and not having any Meta/Yandex apps installed, anyone aware of additional Firefox settings that could help shut this nonsense down?

But I thought Edge was so crucial for the system to function it can't be removed? That's what MS told me at least, and I definitely trust them

Makes sense, there's a Nigerian prince out there who will pay him back ten-fold once his assets are out of escrow. It seems like a no-brainer investment.

I have absolutely zero love for PayPal, but a small part of me is hoping this is so they can launch their own wallet app, which doesn't use whatever crummy "security" system keeping Google Wallet off of GrapheneOS.

It'll never be my primary form of payment, but as someone with ADHD, my grocery store purchase info 10% of the time is a reasonable price to pay for forgetting my wallet at home again.

Probably wouldn't hold my breath for a third one though.

The formatting on my PhD dissertation was flawless. Fonts, colors, layout, immaculate.

Sure, I never finished it, but the 3 months I spent dialing in every setting in every buried menu of MS Word was time well spent.
