You can add exceptions, but yes

I do. A self-hosted password manager makes it only a second or two inconvenience for most sites. The worst ones are the ones that send you a code for 2FA, but still, with those it's a 10-15 second inconvenience. One thing I've learned in my quest for proper digital privacy is that I had to give up my obsession of convenience. I used to be the guy that lost my mind when my internet was even a tiny bit slow, but I've had to get comfortable with not getting what I want immediately. I genuinely think it's made me a better person in other areas as well, but that could just be cope lol

i use temporary auto-applied containers (via the Temporary Containers Plus extension) to auto-erase data of sites that i dont manually put in a permanent container

yes

i use it a lot, my parents are religious and thus i gotta stay safe when looking at anything remotely queer-supportive

I use it regularly for "this isn't something I'm going to be looking at/for again" type searches

I mostly use incognito mode for google image search so that they can't place a cookies on me

Of course, it can do everything Firefox can do if you play around with the settings. I don't think it's a good idea to deviate much from stock though. I use Firedragon now. It's sort of an in-between.

Incidentally that's how I discovered porn. Older brother forgot it and I thought hey, new movie

That got me too. Always cleaned it after.

Yeah, my browser history is significantly more tame than my bookshelf these days
