Only to minimize tracking. I’ve never used Facebook, Twitter, or had a Google account. I would rather give them as little as possible.

Thank you, I will read email. I will setup a dedicated address for it.
I am still trying to understand how this all works in general, and how I can maintain privacy at the same time.
My home area is well mapped, I travel to a few other places both for work a pleasure that are not. That’s where I would like to add data for anyone else interested.
I keep my identities separate for everything I do online. Thank you
I believe I could then use different usernames as long as I kept the original email addresses active.
I have installed that, but not yet opened it. I will look at my firewall logs when I do. Thanks
That’s good to know, like I said, I’m new. Do people often message about edits?
Thank you. I would be changing my username regularly and posting at random times.
I understand that, but in what way? I know I need to sign up, but I will be using a screen name. Is there anything that would tie me to edits, assuming I upload them randomly?
I really like the block all apps by default. I read release notes, download something, scan with App Manager. If that’s all good then it can connect to the internet.
And I use the Wikipedia app so I can block intake-analytics.wikimedia.org and the app still works.
ControlD is good, I have it setup at work. Their paid plans allow more fine control.
They can also be used to unlock geoblocking both on free and paid plans.
Coworkers need TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter, otherwise I would block that crap too.
Have a look at RethinkDNS, https://docs.rethinkdns.com/dns/ their wiki is pretty good. They have recommended block lists, and also have a feature that let’s you search inside block lists to see what they actually cover.
If you are on Android they have a companion app, you do not need to use it though. The app adds a good firewall (capture and redirect port 53 for example) and detailed logs if you want. You can block domains and specific IP addresses.
It’s all FOSS too
Did you look in about:config ? Maybe the flag for Pocket is there but turned off.
I’m on mobile now otherwise I’d check
Their privacy policy says this
5.2. Do Not Track
Zen Browser automatically honors “Do Not Track” requests by default. We ensure that no tracking of your activity occurs, in compliance with this setting
DNT is voluntary, no one respects it, it makes you stand out, and is a known tracking vector.
If you are OK opening things up and can use a soldering iron you could put a physical switch on the microphone.
Is your username from Lakrits? Or from salt?
They are quite common in southern Europe too. Some are solid, and some are like these with holes for light and ventilation. They can also be lowered fully to block light and ventilation.
William Gibson’s Ugly Shirt come to life
I very much doubt it’s malware. This is from the same developer as DivestOS, Mull, Mulch, etc.
It’s offline except when you update databases. Nothing in firewall logs except when you update. App Manager scans look clean.
E often falls behind on patch levels, see the page here https://divestos.org/pages/patch_history
I don’t have any experience with AhaDNS Blitz.
With RethinkDNS I have had occasional failures on their Max resolver, changing to Sky then works. That has only happened two times though, and was fixed with a few hours.
Sorry I can’t be more help.
