      apart from surfing in private mode and installing adblock plugin, do you have any tips for "hardening" morph browser?

            @domubpkm Just to clarify, but public VPN services like Nord, PIA, etc… do not necessarily improve the privacy of your browsing. It just routes your traffic through a different single point instead of your ISP. Whichever such service you might use is also still subject to the laws of whatever governing bodies it operates under.

            They can be useful to access otherwise region-blocked services, and such, but they do not inherently improve either security nor privacy of your connection to those services. So might be useful for some, but I definitely wouldn't put such VPN services under the category of "hardening" a system.

              thanks for replying.

              so there is not that much to do else right now?

              i hoped for a way to toggle/deactivate javascript and tweaks in this direction.

                @utouchuser You could make webapp click packages instead, for web sites you use frequently. This way, each web site will be run in its own confined browser instance with its own separate profile. This way, malicious javascript could not read data for other sites you use, for example, since the config would be a different browser profile on disk, in a different directory, which cannot be accessed.
