I have set up firefox to prompt for a profile when it is started. So my workflow for browsing the web at home is to connect to a vpn, start up firefox, select a profile at random (except for the top one), and do my thing. Each profile is set to remove cookies, history, etc on close. I have more than one privacy-oriented profile because in case things are leaking hopefully I'm hitting sites from different profiles and at least confusing the trackers somewhat. I also randomly select a vpn server to connect to. I keep one tab (the top one) that I use in the open for sites that won't let me connect with a vpn, like my bank.

I keep bookmarks in a local html file which is set as the homepage for each profile.

All so I can watch let's play videos or research an obscure technical topic or whatever.
