You should look into Brave browser, because always using incognito mode seems...

Well that's a bit laborious isn't it?

Brave has settings that allow you to block cookies and scripts, or just third party cookies, or you can tell it to clear cookies once you close the browser. There's also a pretty good built-in ad-blocker.

Also: Mozilla is an SJW company, so supporting them ain't desirable for political dissidents.

A few sites are putting really obnoxious big banners across their sites asking you not to use adblockers just from Brave. IGN comes to mind.

Sad cause only recently did anyone even notice Brave was blocking ads. I pair Brave with Blockada which gets whatever Brave misses and is not detectable afaik since it works as a vpn that simply doesn't load ads.

I haven't seen any obnoxious banners, not even on IGN.

I'm glad to see you back btw.

Oh, thanks! I wasn't gone for too long, but I still can't make YT videos, since I have to share a room — but I can still post on Saidit and Gab.

I'm not seeing it now either but I ran into them when I needed help on the new spider man game.

Oh, maybe Brave found a way around it, then. It's a cat-and-mouse game.

I know I know, but you know how it is, once you get settled into software you're content with it's hard to move around. You raise some good points there though, I tried waterfox but was unimpressed, I'll look at Brave reviews and see what it's about.

Edit: It's well regarded https://vpnpro.com/web/brave-review/ Here is a good match https://marcodiversi.com/blog/expressvpn-review/

At least I don't use ie or google chrome like 99% of the users out there lol. And I have a good vpn that keeps me cloaked, you need that in australia just to look at Anime.

Well they passed a law. Tens of Thousands will ignore it and slip through the net, a few will tracked down for accessing the most egregious content, and everyone one with a VPN will be off the radar.
