How can I get access to my connect.mozilla.org account back? (lemmy.world)
 

I changed emails on my Mozilla account, and then trying to log in again with it, it prompted me to create a new account. I made a Firefox support post 2 weeks ago but got no responses.

What should I do when I see headlines about personal data getting breached? How do I keep such info off the internet? (lemmy.world)
 

Like when I read 3 Billion National Public Data Records with SSNs, Addresses Dumped Online, am I supposed to access that data dump or something to see if I got pwned? Are there equivalents to haveibeenpwned.com for this type of stuff? Any guides on what to do when these happen? I feel like I'm doomscrolling or watching the news, and feeling depressed about the world as a result because I should be doing something but I can't or it seems like I can't.

Even though I know better than to put such personal info online, but that doesn't eliminate the odds of them getting into breaches like these, and having started to be careful about digital privacy has opened my eyes to the sad state of privacy.

I just learned about The Work Number, what are other methods of employee, medical, or financial data collection can I opt out of? (lemmy.world)
 

I tried looking for lists but didn't find any.

The Work Number is US-specific and where your employers input your salary data for future employers to see. You can opt out here: https://employees.theworknumber.com/employee-data-freeze/.

Privacy@Lemmy.ml: How can I remove the extra parameters in startpage.com URLs in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I just installed ClearURLs and it still has the tracking parameters, can I add parameters to the addon for it to remove?

TIL SimpeLogin has limits for how many accounts you can make for a single site in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

I got it after make 5 aliases for 5 Reddit accounts.

This is on my paid account.

SimpleLogin premium, with their domain. But I can't blame them for not wanting to ruin the simplelogin.com domain

On SimpeLogin, How do I get past this when creating aliases? I waited 30 mins and it still shows in c/privacy@lemmy.world
[–] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I just tried it on the Tor Browser and I still get the error, I'm gonna wait a day to see if its just a rate limit, because I've prolly created dozens of aliases today as I've been changing all my account emails.

I don't use Tor as my default browser because the Tor circuits are slower and not necessary for my threat model.

Firefox@Lemmy.ml: Is it possible to install Firefox addons in Thunderbird? in c/firefox@lemmy.ml
[–] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

How does it work though, does it use tracker lists like uBlock origin does?

I'd definitely wanna block embedded trackers though

You can change the density of Firefox's UI in about:config by setting "browser.uidensity" between 0 to 2, and it applies immediately! in c/firefox@lemmy.world
[–] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I'm long past that, I've gotten LOTS of downvotes from cross-posting to too many Firefox communities, because they show up in the feed multiple times for users I think.

Yeah personally I set the tab height in my userChrome file

Firefox@Lemmy.ml: Does Firefox block websites from uploading data that could be used for fingerprinting like resolution, installed fonts, etc.? in c/firefox@lemmy.ml
[–] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (4 children)

But couldn't the JS runtime track which objects and variables interact with such information, so if they make any HTTP requests with the info after getting it and maybe processing it then it could be rejected?

Privacy@Lemmy.ml: Are there any privacy issues with keeping camera or mic access on for iOS apps? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But would it not be easy for a user to catch when the app is using the mic or camera when it's not supposed to? the lights are an iOS feature that can't be disabled.

Firefox@Lemmy.world: What are the best ways to minimize fingerprinting on Firefox? in c/firefox@lemmy.world
[–] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Would u know how I could randomize (constantly change) my fingerprint?
