I know from reading around that Google Chrome if logged into an account or some will send all the browser info to google. I also read that Microsoft Edge browser sends all the browser info to Microsoft.
Is Mozilla Firefox the only fairly private browser or are there other options than T0r Br0wser and the 2 alternatives I mentioned?
@DoomKitty As 2earls & I mentioned in the chatbox to a new user here. Is that your a user with a lot of knowledge I wondered what your opinion on this subject would be?
@porkandbeansboy I dont really keep up with new browsers or build/forks, so others will have way better info than me. I mainly use Firefox tricked out a lot with some extensions and lots of about:config adjustments and multiple containers, etc. I cant even remember what all ive done at this point. I know some people prefer Librewolf which is a Firefox fork that has better privacy settings out-of-box so much better for users uncomfortable with changing settings or going into about:config stuff. And people also really like Brave, tho some are uncomfortable with them over their focus on their own crypto and how once they did url hijacking (or similar) for their crypto, which was actually rather benign and was in their source code which was open source, but still felt icky and profit driven. I used to use multiple browsers, each with a different focus, but i stopped that. I use Tor Browser usually for any website that has a Tor site option. If it doesnt have a Tor site, i dont do it over Tor. Hopefully others will chime in with their knowledges
Thanks for sharing your opinion @DoomKitty. I'd use tor browser except I'm worried that in my small town my ISP might notice I'm using it. I'm paranoid that will cause my orders to my town more likely to be seized which is highly unlikely yet still.
All I know is the tor browser is getting a lot of bad attention for reasons that might cause some ISP to search for it and flag any user who uses it.
I use multiple browsers & Tor Browser when I require to for specific things. I'm considering using it for Facebook Onion link for example.

Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
B@bigblueallda:
@drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
S@soupson:
bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
@drjimmy1964:
Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
@drjimmy1964:
@bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
@drjimmy1964:
@bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
B@bigblueallda:
@drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
@drjimmy1964:
@Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
B@bigblueallda:
I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

@drjimmy1964:
@bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

S@soupson:
did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
T@Turbo259:
@drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
B@bigblueallda:
{Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
B@bigblueallda:
Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

@drjimmy1964:
Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
