  • Use a self-hosted Nextcloud server to sync your bookmarks across multiple devices and browsers - it eliminates the need for a Google account.

  • Using Chrome on Linux is a big mistake because your session is much more likely to get flagged as a bot.

  • which is especially silly because every half-competent scraper knows this, and will just lie - it's so easy. but I have seen this happen as well, trying to legitimately use Chrome on Linux

  • I still think that EME were a mistake for web standards to implement. I disable them by default and yet see widevine requests as part of analytics, the occasional bot captcha, and other inappropriate locations all the time. I really just wish the whole thing would bog off - its anti consumer and approving the standard was I think a really foolish mistake. At least Firefox has an "off" button. Would that it was off by default.

    The alternative is that Netflix et. al can't be played on firefox and you need to install chrome just to watch it, which weakens firefox's market share even more.
