weirdly your bug doesn’t occur on my pc, also mint. but i recall some setting causing my phone to not be able to reconnect, probably quantum-resistant tunnel. does it fix if you set that to automatic or off?

mullvads clients just seem bad. every time i wake my pc from sleep, cpu usage and temps go high for a good 20 seconds and the app is frozen. it constantly crashes in my phone too, and it wouldn’t work in UK at all for some reason. thinking lf switching to airvpn anyway because of portforwarding.

it’s an absolute pain in the ass with mullvad. only a few servers like ireland, greece and nigeria work.

not working quite that well on my end. no matter how popular torrent, mine won’t seed at all. and i can’t download some rare ones where there’s like less than 50 seeds.

use ddg light, it has no AI

I got so paranoid about librewolfs unique fingerprint that I threw it away and started using mullvad browser 😅 I use the one you can manually download from mullvad website, as mint doesn’t support mullvad repository. I just now tried the flatpak one and it was showing 600+ visits…but it’s unverified, so idk if that’s something to worry about?

I use basic firefox for stuff where I need to log in as me. probably won’t prevent some goddamn AI from spying on me but at least I feel one bit safer 🤡

1. yup that’s the same thing I was using.

2. I use linux mint, haven’t tried it on any windows system. tried on my phone and no browser can beat it, I’m totally 100% unique.

3. score is 75% for me too. on any other browser it’s 27%, even without any extensions so this is still a lot better. oh and I just assumed 0% was bad because it’s shown in red, but if it’s the opposite then js engine and mimetypes are the big giveaways as they have 50 and 20%.

4. it started at 55 and has been alive for a month. before I changed something in the settings it was 300. it still counts up when I refresh, open in a new tab, restart or even clean identity. can’t fool it. I suppose it wouldn’t matter as long as it confuses me with a few others too, I’m just not convinced it can fool google and meta.

so out of the box it blends in, but it still knows me even after cleaning the identity. in prediction section almost everything is red 0%, and it seems to know the browser is lying. if I use dark reader, I am unique.

I use mullvad vpn, and I tested with mullvad browser, and it always detects me. doesn’t even matter if I use daita etc…something gives me away. unique fp and it sticks between refreshes and restarts. I recall my gpu being one giveaway but I’ll have to check that again tomorrow.

try creepjs with mullvad browser, 100% traceable. it will always know it was you even if you clean the identity and restart the browser. and I bet googles tracking is even more advanced.

I use libredirect, it works for piped at least. make sure youtube is turned on in services, and “redirect only in incognito” is unchecked. every now and then it might miss one, just refresh the page.

what brand is it? just to know what to avoid

on my phone it goes from 280 to less than 1, on pc from 700 to 400-ish which is acceptable. but idk what the heck happens on android, becomes unusable.

when building a private house, the same advice applies as when building a private pc.

avoid windows.

I’ll be getting a new phone soon but is it a good idea to attempt to flash a new OS on a new kinda expensive device? i hate the idea of a used phone, but i wouldn’t wanna brick something worth a month’s rent. been over 10 years since I’ve attempted that (unsuccessfully).

still funny. for more giggles, look up the usain bolt segway oopsident

that’s fun because some of my teachers like to upload their course material to youtube…

yeah i find it too difficult to find decent content in there
