While these are all good tips, for some it may not be an option (work/ school settings requiring zoom for example)

To be really safe, live in the forest, and never touch electronics.

Not everyone has the same threat model, not everyone can, or is willing to go to the same extremes.

I'd rather have people make informed decisions about their privacy choices, than just blindly doing whatever some Privacy guru yells at them to do.

Use chrome if you want, but be aware what it costs

@shaedrich

"Potential options" is where I think we are misunderstanding each other
"dont use zoom" is not a potential option for many people.

Many things mentioned in the article are a lot more effective than "asking nicely"

If you look at my other posts, and those of the EFF, whose article I summarized, both have long been proponents of non-chromium based browsers and other privacy respecting practices.

But this article aims to be a starting point for people wanting to protest safely.

@Theeo123 That's why I ALSO suggested checking the browser's privacy settings (works in Chrome just as well), but also warned about the problem arising from that practice.

However, people might get the wrong assurance that, for example, using private tabs in Chrome might protect their privacy.
