A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

This is a great effort! There's just one thing that I think you really should correct/clarify, In the chapter on firefox:
Firefox doesn't "block cookies". The default settings block "cross-site tracking cookies" and "cross-site cookies in private windows", while the "Strict" setting blocks "Cross-site cookies in all windows". Cookies themselves are not a privacy concern (and blocking them would break a huge proportion of websites)
Thx for the clarification! Added GitLab Issue #107 and will add a comment on the website
Fixed, update is live
The last thing is true, i block first-party and third-party cookies in Vivaldi
