I still think that EME were a mistake for web standards to implement. I disable them by default and yet see widevine requests as part of analytics, the occasional bot captcha, and other inappropriate locations all the time. I really just wish the whole thing would bog off - its anti consumer and approving the standard was I think a really foolish mistake. At least Firefox has an "off" button. Would that it was off by default.

Use a self-hosted Nextcloud server to sync your bookmarks across multiple devices and browsers - it eliminates the need for a Google account.

Using Chrome on Linux is a big mistake because your session is much more likely to get flagged as a bot.
