LibreWolf vs #PiHole: The results are in. ๐
Tested #LibreWolf (stock) + #Quad9 DNS.
Result:
859 extra leaks blocked by Pi-hole after 4000+ uBlock blocks.
Firefox leaked 1150+, LibreWolf 859. Better, but still a massive leak.
The lesson? A 'privacy browser' is just a cleaner window. You still need a solid door like #PiHole to keep trackers out.

My final privacy test is eye-opening ๐ก๏ธ
Even with a hardened #Firefox (uBlock + Privacy Badger), #PiHole caught 1150+ additional tracking queries that escaped the browser level. With DoH active, these would have leaked silently!
Results:
uBlock: 4000+ blocks (10% of traffic)
Pi-hole: 1150+ extra "leaks" stopped at the gateway.
Proof that 'Layered Defense' is mandatory. Extensions alone aren't enough to stop the noise.

Can stock #Firefox match #LibreWolf levels? Yes, with the right tweaks! ๐ก๏ธ
Tested on #BashCoreGee: added uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, and enabled Strict Privacy + Quad9 DoH. Result? #PiHole is now silent! ๐ค
uBlock stops threats at the source (Layer 7), so packets never even reach the gateway. This is Layered Defense: Pi-Gateway + VPN + Hardened Browser.
Gee keeps Firefox stock for user choice, but the tools to harden it are right there.
OS Purity vs. Browser Reality on #BashCoreGee ๐ก๏ธ
My Pi-hole test confirms: while the #BashCore OS is dead silent at idle, opening stock #Firefox immediately triggers a flood of tracking requests.
As shown in the image, Google Analytics, DoubleClick, and Tag Manager are instantly blocked by my Pi-gateway. Gee gives you LibreWolf, Tor, and Mullvad for a reason. Don't let a "stock" browser ruin your OS privacy.

First impressions on #BashCoreGee network behavior:
Idle system: almost silent ๐
Browsers:
Firefox โ very noisy (telemetry, services, ads)
LibreWolf โ minimal traffic
Mullvad Browser โ moderate
Tor Browser โ invisible to local DNS (traffic via Tor)
Next step: 24h real-world test (with/without Firefox).
Expect clear differences.
