dt: I was referring to if you knew of a privacy benchmarking tool ...

Unfortunately don't know of any benchmarks that measure privacy. ...

Check out Panopticlick from the EFF.org. Or have a look at https://alternativeto.net/software/panopticlick/

Cheers for that

I'm going to look into fingerprinting later this afternoon

Batman: question: but is there a browser that has a proper dark mode! ... (converts all sites to dark mode)

Until you find one, there is the DIY option:

Stylish - Global dark style - changes everything to DARK

doesn't work properly as in some sites are mis-transformed and suboptimal.

i use the "dark reader" extension with chrome at night but i am reading that all my data are potentially visible to the dev which is also no good :(

unfortunately i need chrome as all my stuff (logins) is saved there!
