How does betterFox compare to arkenfox?

Blocking is handled on the server side at this point.

Would be best to just use the tool linked by the other commenter

I use the apps bluebubbles and airmessage on android to send imessages via a mac mini I have.

Test

Edit: works on my end

Perhaps there should be a feature request on lemmy to have a "filter" list option, where these communities are filtered from all/local feeds, but remain unblocked.

Without looking at the code for lemmy right now, it sounds like that's how the instances themselves handle blocking

There's an open pull request for this, should be implemented soon.

It's in the backlog as of now https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef/issues/64

There's hong to be a settings overhaul happening soon, which thus will come after

This was my thoughts as well. I understand the need for an audit trail.

Would be very easy to build up an interaction graph with this data that could be used for fingerprinting. If this is an issue for you, though, just browse without signing in/interacting

Was just thinking about this more though, and unfortunately there can also be rogue instances that allow bot users to be created and interact with other instances posts, so this issue could still persist.

Try out searxng! It aggregates from multiple sesrch engines.

I find that, with companies that roll their own search algorithm that the results are often... lacking. I also don't trust brave as they try to push their crypto on you.

For what its worth, on the browser side of tbings, I run firefox w/ arkenfox
