Today is Install A New Browser Day with Tech Reclaimers! Join us to #reclaimtech #optout

If you are still on Chrome, take baby steps by installing Firefox and moving your bookmarks and passwords over. You will be amazed how quick and easy it is to reclaim control and experience some freedom of choice! Then follow these steps to secure your new browser https://www.optoutproject.net/day-seven/#mcetoc_1ih1ustidcrr and https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

If you are on Firefox or already far beyond Firefox-- great! Why not try out a new browser? I have about 14 of them lying around, earmarked for various activities. I use different ones to keep my online activities separate, or to choose the right one for the job (more privacy locked down? more eco-friendly? more optimized for tabs? only works on Chrome or Safari or Edge?). If you've already got Opera or Vivaldi or DuckDuckGo, may I recommend lesser-known ones like Avast, Colibri, Ecosia, Floop or Orion?

On this machine I have:

Firefox
DuckDuckGo
Safari
Tor
Opera
Orion
LibreWolf
Floorp
Colibri
Brave
Ungoogled Chromium
Avast
Edge (booo, but just in case)

Er, that may be overkill, but I do like giving options a try. It looks like I'm missing Ecosia (I have Vivaldi on another machine ofc) so that's on my list for today!

If you want to avoid #ads and the #cancer Youtube has become, I, obsiously, recommend #peertube.

However, if you want to keep using Youtube, but ad-free and with it playing while having your screen locked, the easiest thing to do is:

1. For phones, download Vivaldi Browser -> tap on logo -> settings -> tracker and ad blocking -> enable "block tracker and ads"

2. For PC: download Librewolf browser -> enjoy, it comes with Ublock Origin included
