If possible, self-host SearxNG using Docker/Podman to avoid all of these.
NUKED the problem in a SINGLE post 😜
I personally use Invidious (Privacy front-end of YouTube) using Docker. Though it can be compiled and run standalone as well.
It doesn't take much resource (< 100 MB) to run on my system. There is NO ad or no pause.
It's like YouTube Premium account with ZERO tracking.
You are right; I should have fully read OP's post before advising.
In my case, all cookies (except the ones I marked as exception) are deleted when browser is closed. Note, 3rd party cookies are by default blocked on Firefox.
I found this to be right setup for me.
Sorry, for the confusion.

One of those extensions recommended by Mozilla.
In my case I’m using Miniflux RSS reader on Docker on a Raspberry Pi4. It has option to download content of articles. It’s really lightweight.
To add more context to it -
Meta is actually trying to ~~comply~~ circumvent EU's strict privacy policy.
Recently, The EU's top court said in July that Meta must first get consent before showing ads to users - a ruling that jeopardises the company's ability to make money by tailoring advertisements for individual users based on their online interests and digital activity.
Is the switch to Mastodon a possibility for you?
Option 3 : Delete your FB profile, and live peacefully ever after 😀
I personally consider this[1] to be the ultimate test of Browser fingerprint protection coverage. Let me know if you manage to find a way to defeat this test.
Lemmy website does provide official PWA app.
On iOS: Safari > Lemmy website > Hit share button > Add to home screen. On android, I assume steps will be similar.
I wholeheartedly recommend PWA app as such is published by the publisher of website itself, and I don’t need to download it either from official or 3rd party store.
In case you don’t know, PWA is basically a web app, running using your browser engine, which has almost same look-n-feel of native app.
