Vielleicht ein Tipp (leider nur für #android Nutzer): https://github.com/mcastillof/FakeTraveler

Ansonsten:
- #GPS standardmäßig aus
- aufpassen, welchen Apps man Zugriff auf den Standort gibt
- #adblocker und #scriptblocker mit passenden Listen nutzen. Wohl gemerkt nicht im #webbrowser, sondern systemweit.

#werbung zu blockieren ist schon lange mehr als nur Ausblenden von nervigen Bannern im #internet, sondern #digitaleselbstverteidigung.

These days, if someone visits a random website without any protection, they're likely to see a banner that's inappropriate for minors… You know, something about gambling or the classic "Horny singles in your area". If they visit a "dangerous" website about hacking, there's nothing to protect, and their sweet little grandma won't be shocked by what her tech-savvy grandson is looking at.

The ironies of the present.

I'm not sure how to turn off my #adblocker , even if I wanted to.
It looks like the #Waterfox browser is testing out a built in #AdBlocker. I'll just plop this here for anyone interested.

Who Is Satoshi Nakamoto? My Quest to Unmask Bitcoin’s Creator

Bitcoin’s creator has hidden behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto for 17 years. But a trail of clues buried deep in crypto lore led to a 55-year-old computer scientist named Adam Back.
