Perhaps I'm missing something, but isn't using a new vanilla FF profile as |
51 |
good as it needs to be to protect your privacy in this use case? Facebook |
52 |
will not be able to collect cookies from your previous life or anything else, |
53 |
because this will be a new fresh profile. Store it on /tmp/Facebook/ and it |
54 |
will be cleared out next time you reboot. Fingerprinting will show a new FF |
55 |
vanilla profile, your OS, etc., but I guess this is innocuous enough. It goes |
56 |
without saying you should not use Adobe Flash. If you do 'rm -Rf ~/.adobe/ |
57 |
Flash_Player/' before and after. |
58 |
|
59 |
Other than the above, Facebook will collect everything you enter into it, |
60 |
name, email address, etc. |
61 |
|
62 |
If you want your IP address to remain private, use Tor. Sometimes it becomes |
63 |
congested and busy, try a different time of the day. The NSA/GCHQ and friends |
64 |
are known to carry out DoS attacks to frustrate users who are trying to remain |
65 |
anonymous. |
66 |
|
67 |
I just think Docker, LXC, VMs and what not, are quite an overkill, but perhaps |
68 |
I'm underestimating the degree of privacy you seek to achieve. |
