Bandcamp, specifically. I already buy music there and i don't plan to stop unless the artists i like move somewhere else. Currently i have to be careful with my files and/or keep the download links for albums i buy if i want to make sure i never lose them (which i do). The main reason i might make an account is just so all those download links are in one place.

Given that i already use Bandcamp, do i stand to lose anything or give them anything extra by making an account instead of continuing to buy stuff without one? I skimmed their privacy policy and didn't see anything specific to people who do or don't have an account.

 

I'm currently using LibreWolf (a Firefox fork) as my primary browser, with uBlock Origin set to block scripts by default on all but a few sites. When i need to use a site that's not one of these trusted ones and refuses to work without JS (for example, forums.linuxmint.com), is it better for my privacy to temporarily allow JS or to open the site in a different browser like FF or Vivaldi?

Does switching browsers actually make it harder to track me, especially ones that don't have full modern CSS and JS support like Dillo, Links2, Alhena, and NetSurf?
