If my exit point is my ISP, and my ISP is selling my data to advertisers (hypothetically), then a VPN would make a difference. That's why I mentioned it.

I use AdGuard rather than uBlock Origin for adblocking, because it allows me to opt-in and only block ads when they are aggressive enough to be annoying. But I've not been trying to minimize fingerprinting. The issue is just that everything I used in this instance came with either a tacit or explicit promise not to track me and I don't know which is lying.

Other extensions I use are:

1. Remove YouTube Suggestions
2. 10ten Japanese Reader (just now disabled)
3. Tampermonkey
4. Proton Pass (because my government services require 2FA, but only offer an official government app that uses the play integrity API, or a Passkey which is only natively supported on Windows or Mac)
5. Time Tracker - Web Habit Builder
6. Improve Crunchyroll (which seems to have stopped Crunchyroll from forcefully dropping my resolution to 144p).
7. SteamDB (just now disabled)

Apparently Startpage and Duckduckgo use contextual advertising (rather than targeted advertising) so the advertisers on an unrelated website shouldn't know I was looking up rambutan.

I don't think Wikipedia is a likely culprit. I haven't heard anything about them selling data.

I'm pretty sure I never clicked on one. And I've turned off Firefox link previews too IIRC.

As far as I can remember, only the Wikipedia one.

Looking it up my ISP isn't exactly trustworthy, but there have been no clear allegations. I'd say it's the most likely cause if not my Firefox extensions.

EDIT: I just got another theory, Cloudflare, I'll add it to the list.

Obama didn't behave as weirdly as Biden. He facilitated neo-nazi's taking control of Ukraine's government and that prompted Russia to annex parts of Ukraine. The difference is that Obama behaved like is normal for an American president and it doesn't seem like war was his goal, Biden behaved incomprehensibly and was either deliberately pushing for war to further his own political ambitions or he was too senile to know what he was doing.

Europe didn't even participate in the Iraq war, that's a common misconception. It was just the US, UK, Australia, and Poland. And in Poland's case they contributed just 200 troops. Sure just like with Palestine they didn't actively oppose it meaningfully, but the Iraq war was like 90% American, 9% British, 0.5% Australian, and 0.05% Polish.

It was Biden that goaded Ukraine into flaunting it's NATO ambitions while making it clear multiple times that America would not come to Ukraine's aid. Europe is really being screwed here from both sides, on principle they support democracy and self-determination but they are entirely dependent on the Americans to stand up for that.

I don't really care about car privacy myself.

Where I drive to isn't really a secret, social events are organized on Discord. And if driving recklessly raises my insurance premiums then that's deserved. I wouldn't risk something as expensive as a car with privacy hacks.
