I get it. My privacy settings explicitly say do not send telemetry, analytics or whatever else you want to call it. But they ignore my request and try to capture the data anyway. Dunno why they call themselves a privacy focused browser. I already uninstalled it and put in the Mullvad browser.
I turned off telemetry and "privacy preserving analytics" but saw the URL below in my DNS logs. Does anybody know what it is? I found [this repo](https://github.com/brave/star-randsrv) but don't know what it means.
`star-randsrv.bsg.brave.com`
My kid discovered pokemon go and loves it. I'm excited because he's getting outside and walking around, getting some exercise and not just playing video games in his room all day.
I was thrilled when he asked me to download it so we could be friends. I've downloaded it but was wondering if there was a version (or a similar app) that is more privacy respecting?
You’ll definitely want to run the prefsCleaner.sh script at the same time you’re running the updater.sh script. The cleanup.js is more of a nice to do, than a need to do.
Yeah, I do that too but every now and then I’ll run the cleanup.js script. It always clears away a couple of deprecated prefs. I guess there is no harm in having those older prefs around but clearing them away seems nice.
Mullvad is great for people who don’t want to tweak their browser settings very much. But lots of us see the tweaking as a feature, not a bug. I customize the heck out of my browser and appreciate that FF allows for the customization.
[It's the scratchpad script](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/blob/master/scratchpad-scripts/arkenfox-cleanup.js) where you copy/paste into the `about:config` console. I just did it for the new v.115 release. I've done it previously but I don't have any set schedule. I guess 1x every six months (2x/year) seems sufficient but I wanted to see what others do.
Also the decision to exempt business and teams makes no business sense. Companies derive the lion’s share of their revenue from enterprise. If a company wants to optimize their product offering, you’d do so with your most desireable, profitable segment in mind. This just seems like a backwards decision.
I think more probably, they’re dogfooding it on the consumer segment and then after they’ve worked out the “oops, we shouldn’t have collected that bit of data” errors, they’ll move to include enterprise. But I’d guess that consumers are the guinea pigs here.
main vault is a full offline database in keepassxc
I’m curious what your config looks like for this. How do you keep your db offline but accessible? Is it a restricted docker container? How do you access it when you’re not at home or on multiple machines (like a laptop)?
I’m using the stable version of Brave. Not nightly or Beta.
