Have you tried a GDPR request?

Uss the Librewolf browser. You need to turn off reduceFingerprinting and turn on WebGL to make some sites work, but even then if you go to CreepJS you will see that compared to Chrome, there is much less information like battery level, actual core/RAM count, etc for sites to use. And the browser has uBlock Origin to block ads and trackers, although turn off the Quick Fixes list as it might break YT bot protection and shadowban comments.

It’s likely so they can block scraping and DDoSing from people behind a VPN by just banning their account.

It’s horrendously insecure. It can be hacked sliently by a hacker sending a crafted IPv6 packet to it (CVE-2024-38063). You should try Mint on it.
