What are the privacy implications of enforcing an obscure font browser-wide (Firefox)? Are the website aware that they're not using some generic/default font?

I prefer not to set custom icons but instead make them monochrome or adhere to some other common theme.

I am not talking about the icon of a folder, I'm talking about the icon of a website that's been bookmarked.

For example, uBlock and that folder icon changes according to the but not Discord or Bitwarden.

I'm a bit confused about what's going on but as far as I understand, due to NVIDIA allowing redistribution of their blobs, nouveau can now set the clock speed of GPUs. This is giving us a huge boost in performance in nouveau.

How exactly do I test this out? Arch wiki does not say anything about NVK, but I see it's mentioned on everything about this change. Do I need to do anything to get/use NVK other than uninstalling the proprietary driver? And, are we getting a performance boost only on Vulkan?

There are a few things that I change on top of arkenfox but I can't find the proper setting name to make them persist.

One example is, I block all third party cookies in the enhanced protection mode.

Thinking about installing Riot's rootkit

If I have an encrypted Linux partition and a Windows partition that I use as a bootloader into Riot's games, what are the drawbacks of installing their kernel level anticheat?

Arch wiki page on reflector states that:

Make sure the resulting /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist does not contain entries that you consider untrustworthy before syncing or updating with pacman.

The question is, how should I know if a mirror is trustworthy or not?

If I use arkenfox and make a bunch of overrides, do I need to make sure to back it up and manually install on every fresh installation or does Firefox Sync take care of that?

I found a binary file with a gibberish name in my home directory. Its content seems to be just hex zeroes when I open it in an online binary viewer. It doesn't have execute permissions. It seems I accidentally ran spotify --uri= around the time the file was created (I could not replicate).

Can I safely ignore this as some bug with a program that tried to write to a file?

I'm migrating from Brave. I have a whitelist of (sub)domains that I allow to save cookies, a blacklist that's never allowed, and the rest get deleted when I close my browser.

I ported this list to LibreWolf but I cannot find an option to view exactly which domains are setting cookies. For example, on YouTube, accounts.youtube.com is enabled to keep me logged in. But when I click the settings icon on the search bar, it only gives me the option to delete cookies for youtube.com and doesn't list which domains are setting cookies. This is fine for youtube because I already know but not alright for new websites that I might use.

The rules doesn't accept regex either. So if I want to block accounts.google.com, I cannot block *.google.com. I have to block the domain and all the subdomains individually. Which is even harder because of the first issue.

I know some people praise the lack of an algorithm because it makes them spend less time on YouTube but I don't have that problem anyway. Almost all videos I've watched on YouTube. I found through the homepage. The lack of it makes the alternatives useless for me. I'd even maybe be fine with something that takes all the watch next recommendations of the videos in the subscriptions page and jumbles them together as "recommendations".
