  • Using tor with anything google is a PITA at best.

    If you have a generic enough useragent string and using standard ipv4 deployment (shared by many homes and/or rotating, usual isp)/mobile internet/workspace internet it is pretty hard to fingerprint.

    I’ve not seen google fingerprinting with canvas or other weird techniques (though these can be defeated in even standard firefox) yet.




  • Apart from usual ubo, reader mode and friends trained eyes are very effective content filter. We all can glance on a search result page or an article and immediately know if it’s content or low effort craps.

    Stay out of mainstream social media, stop consuming ‘feeds’. Stay in the realms of personal sites, blogs and sane link aggregators/rss to keep mental peace of not having to filter garbage with eyes everyday.




  • This can be a soft limit where Youtube limits the connection rate so that artificially inflating view count becomes more costly. There are inexpensive ‘services’ especially in India or Pakistan where you can buy human (like a whole internet cafe) view times to your scam video to make it float in suggestions and to promote a channel.

    I don’t work for youtube so it is just a guess.
