Have you used this U_A? I've been using Brave with Tor but notice I've been tracked anyway (possibly I was not paying attention to settings or something.)

Anyhow, if you have some useful privacy tips for a big idiot with a shitty mac, I'd be glad to hear them. I know you've offered up insights before, but they were too highfalutin' for a hopeless luddite.

all i use is tails on a pc and laptop. i upgraded it today... no tracking unless i enable all the scripts. i usually notice it on youtube only and thats the only google service i use. i dont have an account and its only happening during a single session.

https everywhere, noscript and ublock origin are my plugins and sometimes i install canvasblocker. thats all i do, but the torbrowser that comes w tails is hardened in other ways out of the box.

i am not sure, but if your mac is intel based it might be able to run tails too.

Thanks! Do you boot tails each time from a USB stick?
