Newb question: what does it really mean when I click “Reject Nonessential Cookies”? Am I really being any more private by rejecting these? Just feels greasy like it’s a workaround for websites to get my information anyway? Should I navigate away from any sites that suggest this cookie configuration?

    If you’re a bit pro privacy you should use a browser that reset all the cookies at each closes. So it just doesn’t matter if you refused cookies or not. And you should 100% use Ublock Origin. If think that by default (or with some tweakings) it blocks most of the banners but if you’re not happy with only ublock, I suggest you to try I still don’t care about cookies

        I think that even if you want to harden your Firefox you should use mullvad browser (or librewolf) and then harden it a bit if you want

          I’ve heard of these but haven’t given them a long look. What is it about mullvad or librewolf that people prefer over Firefox?
