5 Browser Extensions That Give You Real Digital Independence
If you are watching this without an ad blocker, your browser is an open door for data brokers. But at this point, uBlock Origin is just the bare minimum. In this video, I am sharing the 5 free and open source (FOSS) browser extensions I use to harden my system, poison data profiles, and actively fight back against the surveillance economy.
These are not just privacy tools. They are weapons for digital sovereignty. From confusing algorithms with active noise to blocking local network port scanning, this is how you take back control. No AI-generated fluff, just the real tools I run on my own own machines.
