Should I Open Source my Company?
It may not be common, but I did find these (fairly popular projects) which don't appear to allow production usage:

Mobile Device Fingerprinting Test Results, Concerns, and Questions
For this test, I used a variety of device ID and fingerprinting apps, but it turned out that using only one was sufficient. The results you can see in the table below are from Fingerprint OSS Demo app - the same company made this that's behind the powerful https://fingerprint.com. Instead of posting the actual ID values, I replaced them with single-letter representations. All profiles are exactly identical aside from what is in the Setup column.

iOS 17 automatically removes tracking parameters from links you click on
They already somewhat have.

Reddit just "recommended" me a community about the city of Bari, which I googled on Google Images yesterday for the first time in my life. How did it know?
Probably through fingerprinting. There was a post here about https://fingerprint.com/ not too long ago. Go there and press the "View Live demo" button. Now do the same thing in a private browsing window. There's a good chance it'll still know it's you. The best thing you can do is to set the resistfingerpinting option, as mentioned by others, but still this doesn't work 100% of the time.

Privacyguide makes Mullvad Browser number 1 in recommendation - what are your thoughts?
I am not sure about the state of Goanna's randomization tech, but I know that they don't implement spoofing / randomization for a number of variables that are used by fingerprinters, like hardware concurrency. For example, Firefox's impl includes the following code:
- Firefox Rolls Out Total Cookie Protection By Default
-
Firefox rolls out Total Cookie Protection by default to more users worldwide
https://fingerprint.com/
I also tried setting privacy.resistFingerprinting = true in Firefox, but it's sad to see that most websites become unusable (most sites using canvas just render a green/purple mess), zooming in Google Maps is basically broken (skips several levels at a time), and like others have mentioned dark mode and time zones also stop working.
What a mess the (somewhat private) web is nowadays. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced legislating privacy is the only way out of this arms race we seem to be losing.

Syncserver and Webserver spamming message log
I'm sorry to hear that. Since we currently do not provide dedicate technical support for self-hosting setups and are switching away from Ruby and Rails to JS/TS, please create a thread on our syncing server repo to provide additional exposure for the issue you're facing to potentially receive more help from the community. 🙂
Thanks for this tip, done https://github.com/standardnotes/syncing-server/issues/201

As for being in the US, here are our thoughts on that. You can self-host your data with a server in the EU if you'd like. 🙂

Standard Notes is a safe place for your notes, thoughts, and life's work
3. Device-to-device syncing
I'm sure there are more. I wish it wasn't written in Electron, but it wouldn't exist otherwise.
As a web application: https://app.standardnotes.org/
> Meanwhile, if this program's servers go down tomorrow, tough luck.
It is open source, you can run the server yourself: https://github.com/standardnotes/syncing-server

How difficult would it be to make my own self-hosted version of one_note/google_drive that I can access anywhere and what are the terms/sources I should look into and use
Here's what I'm talking about and it's just a replacement for OneNote. I couldn't find anything that filled the need as well as this, is multiplatform, FOSS, self-hosted, and encrypted.

Standard Notes
Hi u/RandomComputerFellow, for what it's worth, you can self-host Standard Notes as well. Overhauling the setup docs is on our todo list, but if you have any questions with the current guide you can create a thread in the Issues tab of the syncing-server repo. 🙂
