"... the website loads in a special browser built into the app, rather than your phone’s default browser. In 2022, privacy researcher Felix Krause found that Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including TikTok do the same thing."
@noellemitchell@mxtthxw for anyone who is reading this, please make sure you're using #Firefox with #uBlock Origin and also if you're up for the learning curve, #LibRedirect, though that's not really helpful if you have to log in.
I would also like to suggest trying to migrate over to #PixelFed as an #Instagram replacement and #Friendica as a #Facebook replacement. It took me years to start using my #Mastodon account, the first step is creating it.
I've cracked billions of #passwords from tens of thousands of #data#breaches in the past 12+ years, and because of this, I likely know at least one #password for 90% of people on the Internet. And I'm not alone! While I primarily crack breached passwords for research purposes and the thrill of the sport, others are selling your breached passwords to criminals who leverage them in #AccountTakeover and #CredentialStuffing attacks.
Use a #Diceware style #passphrase - four or more words selected at random - for passwords you have to commit to memory, like your master password!
Enable MFA for important online accounts, including cloud-based password managers!
Harden your master password by tweaking your password manager's KDF settings! For #Bitwarden, use Argon2id with 64MB memory, 3 iterations, 4 parallelism. For #1Password and other PBKDF2 based password managers, set the iteration count to at least 600,000.
Use unique, randomly generated passwords for all your accounts! Use your password manager to generate random 14-16 character passwords for everything. Modern password cracking is heavily optimized for human-generated passwords, because humans are highly predictable. Randomness defeats this and forces attackers to resort to incremental brute force! There's no trick you can do to make a secure, uncrackable password on your own - your meat glob will only betray you.
Use an ad blocker like #uBlock Origin to keep you safe from password-stealing #malware and other browser based threats!
Don't fall for #phishing attacks and other social engineering attacks! Browser-based password managers help defend against phishing attacks because they'll never autofill your passwords on fake login pages. Think before you click, and never give your passwords to anyone, not even if they offer you chocolate or weed.
#Enterprises: require ad blockers, invest in an enterprise password management solution, audit password manager logs to ensure employes aren't sharing passwords outside the org, implement a Fine Grained Password Policy that requires a minimum of 20 characters to encourage the use of long passphrases, implement a password filter to block commonly used password patterns and compromised passwords, disable #NTLM authentication and disable RC4 for #Kerberos, disable legacy broadcast protocols like LLMNR and NBT-NS, require mandatory #SMB signing, use Group Managed Service Accounts instead of shared passwords, monitor public data breaches for employee credentials, and crack your own passwords to audit the effectiveness of your password policy and user training!
Online-Tools zur Messung der Wirksamkeit von Ad-Blockern sind leider wenig praxistauglich und liefern in Kombination mit Browser-Add-ons oft irreführende Ergebnisse. Am besten verzichtet man auf sie und verlinkt sie auch nicht, da gerade Anfänger/Einsteiger davon irritiert werden könnten. Empfehlt stattdessen die Installation von uBlock Origin und anderen zuverlässigen Ad-Block-Lösungen. 👇
J'en avais marre de devoir passer la souris ou cliquer sur un article pour connaitre le titre entier.
Sur l'interface de #mastodon par défaut, les titres des cartes de contenus sont limités à 2 lignes apparemment.
Du coup j'ai ajouté une règle #CSS dans #uBlock pour augmenter à 4 lignes.
Simple, efficace, problème réglé. Merci le html qui n'est pas une soupe de div généré par un framework dégueu :
> La plateforme de vidéos de Google lance « un effort global » pour pousser ses utilisateurs à débloquer les publicités ou à passer à YouTube Premium, explique Christopher Lawton, responsable de la communication de YouTube à The Verge.

Muszę Googlowi przyznać, że pomysł z blokowaniem odtwarzania filmów na YouTube przez osoby używające adblockerów okazał się bardzo skuteczny.
Przed chwilą, niecały dzień po tym, jak dostałem trzy ostrzeżenia, a potem całkowitego bloka, wykupiłem subskrypcję. Co prawda na nebula.tv, ale zawsze xD
Poté, co se Youtube pustil do ostrého boje s blokátory reklamy, rozhořela se opět diskuse o tom, zda je v pořádku reklamy blokovat. Dlouho jsem byl na straně odmítačů blokování reklamy. Během svého života jsem napsal řadu článků pro různé časopisy a servery a vím, že obsah se zadarmo neudělá. Nicméně odvětví internetové reklamy zmorfovalo […]
The first extension you probably want is the #uBlock Origin #adblocker. Yes, it blocks almost every ad, but it also blocks the data collection attempts realted to those ads, which is as important.
Adblocking is particularly important right now as the web undergoes an enshittification cycle driven by the exposure of Google and Meta. They've stopped pretending to be not evil, the squeeze is on.
Historii z blokiem od YouTube ciąg dalszy. Okazało się, że uBlock jest niewykrywany przez YT i mogę normalnie oglądać filmy, gdy tylko wyłączę dodatek do uBlocka.
Żeby było zabawniej, to dodatek dzięki któremu dodawałem kanały ulubionych twórców do whitelisty pozwalającej na wyświetlanie na nich reklam xD
In case anyone else is fed up of seeing the "Code 55% faster with Github Copilot" message on Github, the following filter works a treat with uBlock Origin
A relatively easy way to disable the "random posts" or "random threads" sections (desktop web browser) + suggestions for sidebar
Step 1: Install uBlock Origin on your web browser....
