I have used noscript for a long time but after trying umatrix (from the ublock origin developer) I doubt I'm going back since this one feels more powerful. Maybe you want to give that one a try ๐. I use it alongside ublock.

As a software developer for 20 years who hasn't used Google in roughly 14 years, I can assure you that you don't need it for development or looking up stuff :-). Give it a shot, do without for a week or two; DuckDuckGo works superb and the main reason most people think other search engines are worse is because their Google profile is trained to find stuff they tend to click on, like Meta does.
When your employer uses Google software in development there's obviously not much you can do there.
Why would it be difficult? The only Google service I use occasionally is YouTube and I can do without, honestly. My Android phone is free from Google stuff and I use DuckDuckGo for searching since it launched. I pay a small subscription fee for my email and cloud storage.
And then I ran out of things I know people use Google for. Aside from YouTube (in EU and US) I am certain you can easily do without them. People just choose not to.
Unfortunately, you are wrong.
What works for me is a pi-hole at home, a wireguard service on my (dd-wrt) router with the pi-hole functioning as dns server and my phone using wireguard as an always-on vpn.
All traffic on my phone is now routed through the pi-hole at home, which filters out all tracking, wherever I am.
This is the feature I miss most in Firefox, aside from tab stacking. I used Opera (before Blink days) and later Vivaldi for a long time and tehese features almost made me go back. Me not wanting to use a Chromium based browser was the only thing stronger than that.
I've given up hope on ever getting these features in Firefox by now.
Trying to beat Tails of Iron on the hardest difficulty. The game was fun and somewhat challenging on normal and I did 100% it. The hardest difficulty feels random and just unfair at times and honestly isn't very fun to play. But I'm determined and have reached the last area, so hopefully I'll succeeded this weekend.
Sweet. I just used the extension to go from lemmy.world to feddit.nl so I could upvote ๐ฆ
I read about this port blocking thing but don't quite understand what the issue is. I've been using Mullvad for three months now and have a torrent client using the vpn connection without any issues whatsoever. It uses the port I opened in my account at Mullvad's.
I have tried tiling WM's but they are not for me. KDE Plasma offers the right balance of customisability, look consistency and features to always come back on top again. It's been my go-to desktop environment since KDE3.
And very easy to set up and run without docker! For, you know, us folks with a BSD server ๐
