    How are you guys reading this article? It took me 5-10mins of unchecking each cookie vendor one by one before I gave up.

    Modern internet is a shit show

        Thanks, I just installed it and now I can use the share button to load the article in ddg.

        I’ll consider switching to it as my default browser if it doesn’t let me down over the coming weeks.

        Honestly thanks for sharing with your comment

          You’re welcome. I’ve used it for a long time without issues… take a look at the app tracking protection in the settings too. Works well

      I’ve always wondered whether I should bother about doing this. I assumed if I read the article in a Private Browser, no cookies are stored, and therefore none of my information is tracked?

        I’m not quite sure if they’re allowed to use your IP to index your history or not. If you use private browser and VPN you’ll be fine.

        I’ve just never worked out how to easily open private browsers from my mobile sync client

          I think the easiest way is to use the share ... menu to get the link and then paste it in the private browser.

          But yeah, no way to stop the keyboard app from seeing the link once it’s in the clipboard… And Google also probably gets it from the android share functionality…

      One thing Apple device browsers get so right is ReadingMode. Brave and Orion have the best in my opinion but that list is not exhaustive

          It takes away all the cookie shit and you can adjust the background to be light, dark, or sepia and manipulate the actual appearence of the text in whatever way is most pleasing for you and you can set it to default to that on all non-search engine pages+easily untoggle it if you need the original appearence

          It really cleans it up but I love the making everything dark for night time. Nothing i hate more than bright white backgrounds to articles or pages I wanna read at night without screwing my sleep

            Sounds similar to what’s available for me on Samsung Browser. I thought these would’ve been default options on all browsers!

              What are the privacy deets for Samsung Browser tho. I try to go for the check mark (No data collected) but thats AppStore stuff. Look into it if you can, I suspect they collect your content/searches and tie it to you

              If so, i hope ur behaving u messy beast ;)
