And how do you think the session is kept between requests? With a cookie.

No, they are a necessity for so many things, no doubt about that. They’ve plenty of legitimate uses.

It will stop tracking between session (after a restart), but not during a session (or “in session”). There is plenty to be collected during a session and you might even actually use some of that data to correlate a user between sessions.

It’s more important to keep cookies separate per sites, like Firefox’s Total Cookie Protection does.

No, as I said I do use some bad software but I try to find the least worst.

Well that was a weird rhetorical question.

Redemption arcs are for people, not for companies. And even them, how would I know they’ve become a good actor? It’s really hard to be sure that a software is not doing something bad. Trust in software should be really, really hard to acquire.

No need to get defensive. I do use bad products, but it’s important to try to find the least bad and avoid rewarding bad actors.

Just use Firefox strict mode, no need to do the work when it can be automated.

It’s really hard to know how efficient a device fingerprinting protection is.

It’s just that cookies are only one tool for tracking. When you accept all you consent to tracking but it doesn’t necessarily use cookies for that tracking.

No need to change browser, that’s just a setting in Firefox that’s enabled by default in LibreWolf but you can simply enable it in Firefox.

And they started using ghostery to show their own ads in 2018.

Their search engine was discontinued in 2020.

Breach of trust and owned by a for profit company.

I would recommend enabling strict mode in Firefox. But then Cookie AutoDelete does not work in Firefox if you enable Total Cookie Protection (which is enabled in strict and standard mode).

But you don’t even need an extension to prevent cookie persistence.

It does, the GDPR does not talk about cookies but tracking consent. Cookies are one of the tools for tracking.

Also disabling cookie persistence does nothing against in session tracking.

These forms are actually about consent of tracking and cookies are just one of the ways to do tracking. You’re still consenting to tracking.

Also Firefox Total Cookie Protection is a better solution for cookies. You should enable strict mode and Cookie AutoDelete does not work with Firefox strict mode.

You could use Blocky for this. It can do both, apply some block lists and use DoT/DoH resolvers.
