Remember it's not JUST your browser that tracks you across the web, if you're on Windows, it's your OS as well:
- Disable Activity History
- Disable all of the telemetry
- The DNS Cache is a record of everywhere you've been (But isn't very vulnerable)
- Get Bing out of the Start Menu
The latest Edge beta is now throwing up a banner telling you it launches itself every time your computer starts.
You can hit “No thanks” to turn that off—but even if you switch your default browser, Microsoft still keeps showing the banner anyway.
Hmm ok thanks for the heads up, I was under the impression they had released a statement against it
Yeah, I've got both installed desktop, I don't use the online versions. I mainly use libre office, every once in a while I'll find some weird formatting thing in a word document that just won't render properly, so I open it in only office, but that's about it.
The EFF has put together the first two parts of a multipart series on Print Blocking.
When legislators try to impose limits on what you can print with your own home 3D printer, and why, even if yoyu don't own one, this is really bad news for everyone.
Part 1 - https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/print-blocking-anti-consumer-permission-print-part-1
Part 2 - https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/print-blocking-wont-work-permission-print-part-2
When legislators give companies an excuse to write untouchable code, it’s a disaster for everyone. This time, 3D printers are in the crosshairs across a growing number of states. Even if you’ve never used one, you’ve benefited from the open commons these devices have created—which is now under threat. We need to roundly reject these onerous restraints on creation.
