With Mull no longer being developed I’ve decided to just use vanadium since im on grapheneos. I use librewolf on desktop and would like input on how people manage bookmarks. Floccus seemed good until i saw it doesnt actually import bookmarks into browser on android.
Thanks for the dirty ticks reference. That’s going to be fun to read! May give me an idea.
Much of my browsing these days is on account-based web pages and apps, so it’s unavoidable, but I use addy.io to avoid a single email address and try not to enter any identifying data like full name; and use one-time credit cards. I do what I can to minimise anything resembling a tracking file being on my PC for any length of time if it is downloaded at all (pi-hole, uBlock Origin, cookie autodelete, VPN, i2p, blah blah), but it’s a losing battle as we all know.
I’m trying to only interact with LLMs locally, and be generic with my queries for Perplexity (my current fav engine). With LLM being trained on all our data without our agreement, it’s a concern.
OpenAI say that they’re not making a profit on even their pro plan. You know what they say about free services and being the product.
Try Andi, it’s the most private (active privacy protection, anonymous, no account, no ads, no cookies, no logs, random proxie, own reader mode, watch YouTube videos sandboxed in the search results, apart the best in accuracy in an independent AI benchmark. I use it since 2 years as main search by default. https://andisearch.com/
What I meant to imply is that most, if not all, of the pages/sites that I visit, I am logged in to their site for whatever valid reason as we all are. The data collected is directly attributable to me (although, as I said, I give as much false/unattributable info as possible) to make selling it unhelpful.
I’ve not heard of Andi before. I had been using StartPage (a Google proxy) but Proximity is so good that I’ve switched. Bad move but what can you do. Google isn’t great anymore.
I’ll have a look at Andi. What’s the underlying search engine(s)?
Thank-you for the recommendation. 😁
