While the jokes is appreciated, I'm also half-serious in considering just using Links/Elinks or w3m and just use whatever is the default browser on my OS for those cases where I need to book ticket or do banking.

I'm sadly falling out of love with the web. So much fun and enjoyment have left the web in the past 20 years and I don't enjoy or to some extend even benefit from the modern hellscape of modern commercial web.

I already do this a lot on my desktop. Running on of the FSF approved distros, I have three layers of browsers.

1. Links/Elinks for most stuff.

2. If that doesn't work, Trisquel Abrowser which is a privacy focused fork of Firefox.

3. If that doesn't work, Vivaldi browser in a sabdvox to get that Chromium conpatatibility.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread:

Go to: chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml then enable about:config after that dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled can be set to false.

If you need to do that much hacking around to plug a deliberate privacy hole, you might as well use another browser.

Which OS are you using?

Firefox mobile is only on Android. The iOS version is a reskin, so it's not affected.
