Thanks for sharing.


You could use Firefox and a cookie-handler plug-in.


Yeah I just browse with a profile that deletes all cookies and history when I close the browser. Then just accept or dismiss all those stupid cookie consent popups.


I've seen many of consent forms mention tracking beyond cookies and cross-devices.

Are you sure that by accepting you aren't just accepting legally to continue to be tracked with all other means?

If true, then deleting cookies only cause them to ask again next time, but you're still fully tracked.

See https://www.kompyte.com/blog/5-ways-to-identify-your-users-w... (just found it) for examples of tracking without cookies.


They don't have it on mobile yet, though you can use the "I don't care about cookies" UBlock filterlist


More like "they had, but decided to remove". Firefox on Android used to support any extensions, but they cut that down. You can still get the functionality in browsers like Icecatmobile, though.


If you mean the old XUL extensions with zero security? I think that transition was worth losing some extensions due to the more strict sandboxing.


I guess all the tools in his pickup is not needed then?


They will be but that will be delivered to your home for rental.


At that point, you may as well just get a plumber delivered with the tools too.


Tools tend to be cheaper than trained humans.


In this scenario the trained human is being paid to operate a VR device. Instead of paying a human to send you tools and operate a VR device as you do the repair you might as well pay them to fix the thing.


I imagine that you can guide multiple people at the same time.


From another country, at scale.


Sounds like you've been unlucky. Not my experience at all.


I wouldn't say I had bad experience myself, but then again I haven't lived there as long as I did in the UK. As I said, things are usually subtle and underneath the surface,so not everyone can/want to see.
