  • Firefox has few tricks to prevent finger printing

    1. There is a built in finger printing protection which helps a little bit but not perfect
    2. There is containers: Putting different websites into different containers isolate them from one another so for example opening a website selling toys in one container would prevent your facebook account that is running in different container from knowing about this fact.
    3. There is an extension called NoScript. This allow you to do what you want (block javascript) but since - as many others said - 99% of website won’t work without javascript, u could selectively allow certain javascript from certain domains while blocking others. By default all javascript are blocked but then u test enabling some to see what is the absolute minimum for certain website to work. NoScript remembers your selections so you only need to do it once per website.






    • heating elements don’t care about frequency
    • modern transformers (any laptop adapter, phone charger, …) won’t care about frequency because internally it convert AC to DC and then produce AC again in a much higher frequency.
    • inductive loads (like motors, fans, microwave) do care about frequency. A fan that was designed to work @ 60Hz could burn out @ 50hz
    • some ultra cheap low power chines devices (say a tiny bug zapper or dim LED) can rely on capacitive dropper can also be affected. so a device designed to run @ 50hz could burn out @ 60hz (opposite from inductive loads)










  • It depends how your boot is setup

    If you intially get the uefi boot (usually black screen) then try to search “removing entries from uefi boot in Linux”

    If you directly get colorful screen then it could be grub and in this case u search for grub instead of uefi

    But it also could be something else that is neither grub nor uefi, you really need to find out first what is your bootloader
