Extension developers - watchout for shady offers to buy/collaborate/help monetize
If you feel like reading a lot, you can see a nice example here: https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362 (popular addon is sold to 2 Turkish developers and author is happy that he made money and that someone will continue his project, except they released malware with the first update :D)

Firejail that shit!
Nano-Defender List for uBO, it wasn't great to begin with (based on Reek's Anti-Adblock Killer, which is known to cause issues), but for like half a year ago the project (the list's accompanying Chrome addon to be precise) has been sold to malware distributors: https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362

uBlock Origin works best on Firefox (technical analysis)
this is the original github discussion in all its glory. people were absolutely trashing the developer for their actions, and rightfully so

Nano Defender filter list URls are broken, has anyone found a fix? Does anyone know why it's broken?
Forgot to mention the obvious: uninstall now -- with those capabilities, it should be considered malware. Source: https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362#issuecomment-709456180

3 Million Google Chrome Users were Infected by Malicious Extensions and More Keep Popping Up
I remember the cases of two addons being hijacked for malware distribution: The Great Suspender and one called Nano Adblocker. At least in the case of the former, not only were the changes not published on github, code had been added to obfuscate debugging through the browser; Code was also added to detect and obfuscate its code if it detected that the user was trying to inspect/debug the addon from within the browser using the developer console. The author of Ublock Origin shares his analysis of that here.

Impossible? Someone Has Drained my Entire Nano S / Ledger Live wallet without Ledger Connected?
Unless you have seen all the data surrounding Ledger Live you wouldn't know. From Malicious Nano Defenders Adblocks designed to infiltrate you and data mine you specifically. Raymond Hill creator of ublock comments here https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362#issuecomment-709428210 ... To leaking all personal data on its customers... their is more obviously.... Run... Final conclusion GUILTY, not only for negligence but intent to isolate target and steal its own customers monies.

Is there a way to disguise your device info while browsing the web?
I don't know about Chrome based browsers but if you are using Firefox you can try user.js from arkenfox [link] or from pyllyukko [link] (I personally recommend the first one because they have a great wiki), you just put the script to your Firefox profile directory and it will spoof your screen resolution, link referrer, user agent, etc. (Remember to manually edit the file to suit your preferences, otherwise it may delete your history and cookies!). Also you can try User-Agent Switcher and Manager [Chrome] [Firefox] it is open source and lets you change your user agent to whatever you want. You can view your browser information on this website: https://deviceinfo.me, IMO this is a great website for identifying your browser's privacy issues.

How to harden security on Brave?
I don't know how this one compares to Arkenfox, but from my limited understanding, it seems it's more/less of an out-of-the-box Arkenfox experience.

Is there any recent user.js you'd recommend for Firefox?
I've been using the user.js script based on https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/tree/relaxed for a few years now, but today I noticed that it hasn't been updated for quite a while.

A distro based on Ubuntu that also is good for privacy
If you're that worried about privacy you should probably change your Firefox to one of these templates.

I guess it isn't the worst thing out there
Already tried it. Pretty nice but I prefer hardening Firefox on my own (which just means copying and pasting this user.js accordingly and applying some extensions )
