Autodelete is old tech if you ask me. If you open the sites before the autodelete happens, then the tracking still happens. Temporary Containers is an addon that solves this elegantly.

This may be dumb:

Wouldnt an "AI-Container-as-A-Browser" be nifty:

Create a container that runs with an AI agent that does your browsing "for you" whereby it does the connection, cookie management, anonymously tor' wrapping as required/set/needed such that you have an abstraction between you and all your browsing, and the browser can dev/null the ads and never let them render and poison the reply with synthetic data crafting all packets that go back to the cookie providers?

I also want ti to auto crawl an delete PII from all ad / identity brokers / white-pages/scam-spam. a "Delete me from the internet" bot

I really really want this.

That really is like how Stallman is described to use the internet, just with AI.

Regarding deletion, did you know about this service? https://joindeleteme.com/

Yeah but no. I want to know how to instruct gptbots to spit out actionable code snippets that I can run to have delete stuff. I dont want to pay an Opterly, or join-delete-me a monthly subscription to delete my footprint.

I know their services are valuable, im not against them - I am saying that in the age of GPT-code-slave-bots I'd rather learn the process of figuring out how to tell the AI what I want and I also iteratively learn through the process.

Its wonderful being able to explore ideas so fluidly with the GPTs even though we know/discover their limitations, mal-intent, and other filters/guardrails/alignments and allegiances

Block third party cookies will end most tracking. Block their JS and you get the benefit of a faster browser.

I do that as well. The full setup is Firefox with Strict protection, Multi-Account containers, Temporary Containers, Privacy Settings, Decentraleyes, and uBO. What's unfortunate is I start getting sites that don't like this treatment at all. IKEA straight-up tells me that I'm probably a bot so it won't let me log in, but other sites have random broken functionality as well.

If you’d like to, feel free to reach out to me on robin.whittleton@ingka.ikea.com so that we can try to fix that IKEA behaviour. Or file an issue on webcompat.com and I’ll track it from there.
