I run my browser in incognito mode. Each launch a script creates a new profile directory specifically for that launch. When I quit the browser it deletes that profile directory.

For every activity, email, a specific search, an online purchase, an issue report, accessing personal information, etc., I’ll launch a separate instance and within that instance I’ll restrict my tabs to only that purpose.

I don’t save passwords or bookmarks, both of which are stored elsewhere.

I’m not particularly worried about tracking by being fingerprinted, I’m much more concerned about data leakage, either inadvertently or maliciously.

Rebooting is an utter pain in the arse, but I put up with it and use the opportunity to clear my slate.

Edit: I don’t create the profile directory manually, it’s a little bash script.

Give it time. My software career is also affected. At the rate they’re spending money at an order of magnitude higher than they’re making. They’ve also all borrowed money from each other. It’s going to collapse in a big heap. Hopefully before it sucks in mum and dad investors.

We need this in Esperanto and the lost languages of Lutruwita.

So, in UQL?

You don’t need to shout!

Also, camelCase:

Of?

None of your selection criteria describe what you intend to use it for. Graphic art, spreadsheets, video editing, YouTube consumption, word-processing, software development, 3D modelling, whatever.

Each of those has different requirements.

Then there’s the budget which is also a factor.

For some use cases a large 4k TV is excellent, for others you need a $10k budget.

In other news, bananas are found to have human-like attributes.

Let me guess, a European lawmaker had a little chat with Microsoft that went something like this:

Europe: If you don’t allow users to change their search engine, we’re going to break up your monopoly.

Microsoft: Did you know, we’re now offering our users the option to select their preferred search engine on Windows 11.

US tech industry cut 123,653 jobs since January 2026, up 66% from last year during the same period — AI now the most cited reason excuse for cuts by US employers: report

My experience with this is receiving emails with “we will not proceed with your application” and absolutely no indication what or why, for positions that I’m uniquely qualified for.

I’m still looking, don’t use Assumed Intelligence, and want to work, but it’s not going well.

I suspect that your needs for human written applications is being thwarted by bots filtering your applicants before you even see them.
