Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com

There were no “issues”; everything was working completely fine. This is a deliberate decision to force people to turn off tracking protection.

I saw a recommendation to use Firefox’s container extension https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers, but it’s disabled in private browsing windows, and I always use private browsing windows.

    Hey :)

    Wait, I thought the “downside” of this app was that it used your VPN connection.

    It does, but if you have a VPN that let’s you send your traffic through wireguard (like protonVPN, don’t know about others :/) it will send all your traffic through that tunnel.

    Also, there was a recent update which uses your wireguard’s DNS instead of rethink’s hardcoded internal DNS. That was the awaited updated I needed to fully switch to rethinkDNS.

    There are still some quirks in the interface and a few strange behavior with wireguard when waking the phone up, but nothing that causes leaks in my experience, because if my wireguard tunnel isn’t working rethink isn’t able to make any requests !

    Hope it helps :).
