I’ve heard of these but haven’t given them a long look. What is it about mullvad or librewolf that people prefer over Firefox?
Thanks. I currently use hardened Firefox (Arkenfox) and yes I do use unlock.
Cookies - Lemmy.World

Newb question: what does it really mean when I click “Reject Nonessential Cookies”? Am I really being any more private by rejecting these? Just feels greasy like it’s a workaround for websites to get my information anyway? Should I navigate away from any sites that suggest this cookie configuration?

If you don’t think Mozilla cares about your privacy anymore, yet you use Qwant, you’re probably not going to want to hear that the two partnered up last month.

I’ve been using Startpage with positive results.

There’s also hardened Firefox solutions.

I second Proton… I love 'em. I use them for email and VPN. I always have a hard time putting all my eggs in one basket though, and try to avoid using any one ecosystem for all my organization. For example, I use an offline app for my calendar, and a self-hosted home solution for file management.

Great to see another person giving the one finger salute to big tech. Not sure about your ideas on Apple respecting your privacy though - they haven’t given me that impression but maybe I’m misinformed.

After your post I did some digging and indeed it does appear as though Parrot OS can be installed through UTM. Thanks for the heads up!
Is SELinux enabled by default in Fedora? I’ve tried researching it but everyone seems to be wanting to do the opposite and disable SELinux (presumably because it restricts ease-of-use)?
I’ve looked at this and would love to but as is my (limited) understanding, Qubes is next to (if not entirely) impossible to implement on Mac M1
Thank you. Again, excuse my ignorance but, I don’t see Parrot on the UTM list… Can Parrot be loaded on top of one of those OS’s? Or are you suggesting Parrot in general, regardless of UTM’s capabilities?
Which OS/Distro? - Lemmy.World

I’m new to the cyber-security/privacy space. I am interested in teaching myself about it, as well as dabbling in OSINT and general linux-type-stuff too. ATM this is all a hobby so while it is not crucial to have everything air-tight, I would like to do my best to follow best practices. That being said, I am currently using a Mac M1 so my VM capabilities are (AFAIK) limited to the OS’s provided by the UTM virtual machine software. For those who are unaware, the OS’s they provide can be found here: https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/ [https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/] From a security/privacy perspective, which of these OS’s would you consider to be the most secure or, able to be the most secure with configuration? At first glance and with my limited knowledge, I want to say Kali, but I feel this may be cliché as it’s what your stereotypical-hacker-type would use. Any guidance would be appreciated. N.B., ease of use/convenience is not a top priority for me, as I’m using this as a learning experience and I’m open to trying different things and making mistakes along the way. Thanks!

Desktop vs. Mobile - Lemmy.World

Is there a logistical/technological reason why I can register for a protonmail account on my desktop without issue but when I try on mobile it tells me “there has been suspicious attempts from your server and we have stopped sending new codes”?
