Thank you very much for the detailed reply.

Multiple browsers seems to be the solution seeing the multiple replies. New discipline though.

Thank you, I did not know about that. I'll look into it. I see it's on Accrescent

I have both enabled but still difficult to get a ping without a clear view to the sky. I will try network location though.

Thank you ! It's way more clear now.

Hardened browsers prioritize security over privacy right ? Vanadium is that kind of browser ?

Welcome ! Quick tip: Google has a database of cell towers that helps getting a location quickly and helps starting the GPS connection even indoors.

You don't have that on GOS. So when you use localization with organic maps, you'll notice it struggle to find you. You have to have a clear view to the sky to get a ping and then you can use it inside your car for example.

I also use https://github.com/barbeau/gpstest to get the ping more quickly.

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer.

My goal is pretty simple : I don't want to give my data with big tech and gov for ideological reason more than for security but I don't want to use tools that makes me stand out like a sore thumb.

Mullvad has been recommended twice, I'll have a look and see if it fits my need.

Thanks for all the answers! It helps a lot!

I hoped I would not have to send GDPR request myself... Long work ahead :)

Thanks a lot! I'll have a look.

Obfuscating the data and sending random garbage. How do I do that ?

I did not tinker a lot with LibreWolf, it only has protonpass and ublock origin (it came with it).

I did not change anything on Vanadium but I understand Vanadium is security over privacy.

Is there really a way to avoid both trackers and fingerprinting ? I'll look into mullvad to see how it fares.

Tails is probably an overkill for my threat model.

What I want is pretty simple, be able to reboot any computer (ex: work computer) on my USB live system and be able to access my files, my emails... Instead of having to connect to my proton account without VPN on a normal browser on Microsoft.

So I guess I only need an encrypted live system with any distro. Tails seemed to be the solution because it only writes to ram and purge ram before shutting down. I don't know if it's a nice to have or a must.
