#1 General » Datenschutz bei der Online-Recherche – wie schützt ihr eure Privatsphä » 2026-10-13 13:06:52

Hallo zusammen,

wenn man online nach Informationen zu größeren Hausprojekten sucht, besucht man oft zahlreiche Websites, vergleicht Angebote und liest Erfahrungsberichte. Dabei frage ich mich, wie gut sich die eigenen Daten bei solchen Recherchen schützen lassen.

Bei der Planung einer Kellersanierung sucht man beispielsweise nach Informationen zu Feuchtigkeit, Abdichtung, Dämmung und möglichen Sanierungsmethoden. Dabei können verschiedene Anbieter-Websites, Kontaktformulare und Vergleichsportale zum Einsatz kommen.

Mich interessieren vor allem die Datenschutzaspekte:

Welche Browsereinstellungen nutzt ihr, um Tracking durch Websites zu reduzieren?

Wie geht ihr mit Cookies und gespeicherten Formulardaten um?

Verwendet ihr unterschiedliche Browserprofile für private Recherchen und andere Online-Aktivitäten?

Welche Datenschutzfunktionen eines Browsers findet ihr im Alltag besonders hilfreich?

Mir geht es nicht darum, möglichst viele Funktionen zu aktivieren, sondern einen vernünftigen Kompromiss zwischen Datenschutz, Bedienkomfort und der Funktionalität von Websites zu finden.

Welche Einstellungen oder Vorgehensweisen haben sich bei euch bewährt?

#2 Epic Privacy Browser - Help & Troubleshooting » Title: What Should a Small Resort Website Include Before Launch? » 2026-10-13 03:14:41

I'm interested in what makes a small hospitality website genuinely useful for visitors. Beyond attractive photos, I think clear accommodation details, mobile-friendly pages, transparent booking information, and fast loading times are important.

For a resort with several types of accommodation, the website should make it easy to compare room layouts, amenities, accessibility, and seasonal availability. For example, a project offering Modular Resort Homes Scandinavia might need high-quality property photos, location information, details about nearby activities, and a straightforward booking process.

A company such as Slim House is associated with modular building concepts, which is one example of the type of accommodation a hospitality business might need to present online. The website itself would still need reliable hosting, secure forms, backups, and a content management system that staff can update easily.

For those who have built or managed hospitality websites, what would you prioritize first: page speed, search visibility, booking integrations, security, or ease of updating content?

I'd be interested in hearing which tools and hosting features have worked well for smaller accommodation businesses.

#3 General » How Technology Is Changing the Way We Build Homes » 2026-09-14 04:13:34

Technology is changing almost every part of daily life, so I've been wondering how much it could change the way we build homes as well.

One interesting development is modular construction. Instead of completing every part of a house on the building site, many components can be manufactured in a controlled environment and assembled later. This can potentially make the construction process more predictable while also allowing standardized components to be combined into different layouts.

I've recently been looking into the concept of a **modular house germany** approach, particularly the focus on precision engineering, energy efficiency, and flexible design. SLiM.HOUSE is one example of a modular building system that combines standardized modules with configurable residential designs.

For anyone interested in the concept, this explains how the modular system works:

Do you think factory-based construction will become a much more common approach to building homes over the next decade?

When researching a major renovation, I usually compare several sources before making any decisions. There can be a lot to consider, including the condition of an older building, insulation, windows, heating, structural work, costs, and the order in which everything should be completed.

For example, someone researching Altbau Sanierung Frankfurt might look at different approaches and project examples before deciding what makes sense for their property. I came across this Frankfurt renovation overview while looking at how larger renovation projects are structured: https://herzog-bau.gmbh/frankfurt/

I'm curious how other Epic users handle this type of research. Do you usually keep lots of tabs open, use bookmarks, or have another way of organizing information when comparing different sources?

Hallo zusammen,

Ich interessiere mich aktuell für das Thema Gebäudesanierung Frankfurt und würde gerne von euren Erfahrungen profitieren.

Welche Maßnahmen haben bei eurer Sanierung den größten Unterschied gemacht? Habt ihr zuerst Dach, Fassade, Elektrik oder Bäder modernisiert? Und worauf sollte man bei der Auswahl eines zuverlässigen Bauunternehmens besonders achten?

Ich freue mich auf eure Tipps, Erfahrungen und Empfehlungen.

#6 Re: Epic Mac Bugs » Microphone not working » 2026-08-01 19:05:36

Since the microphone is already enabled in **macOS Security & Privacy**, it sounds like the issue may be related to the browser rather than the operating system.

A few things I'd try:

* Make sure Google Voice has permission to access the microphone within Epic Browser, then completely restart the browser after changing any permissions.
* Test the microphone on another website (such as an online microphone test) to determine whether the problem is specific to Google Voice or affects all sites.
* Verify that the correct input and output devices are selected in **System Preferences > Sound**, especially if you have multiple audio devices connected.
* Try creating a fresh Epic profile or temporarily disable any privacy settings that could interfere with media permissions, if those options are available.
* Since Epic is Chromium-based, it may also be worth checking whether the issue occurs only in Epic by testing the same setup in another Chromium-based browser. If it works elsewhere, that would help narrow the problem down to an Epic-specific bug.

Regarding the Google cookie exceptions, I don't think there's a single official list that covers every Google service, since different products can use different subdomains over time. If the browser developers have documented the recommended exceptions, that would probably be the most reliable source.

It would also be useful to know whether this issue still occurs on the latest version of Epic Browser, as there may have been fixes since Mojave and the 2022 release.

Buying a home today usually starts online, but I was surprised by how many real estate and property websites ask for personal information before you can even download a brochure, request pricing, or view detailed floor plans.

Between tracking cookies, targeted ads, and contact forms, it feels like you're sharing a lot of data just to compare different housing options.

For those who care about online privacy:

Do you use a privacy-focused browser when researching major purchases?
Do you avoid creating accounts until you're ready to contact a company?
Are there any other good practices to reduce tracking while comparing properties?

I've recently been researching modular home options and noticed that comparing different manufacturers can involve visiting dozens of websites. One resource I found useful was SLiM.HOUSE (https://slim.house/), which explains modern modular construction and design in detail, so I could learn quite a bit before deciding whether I even needed to contact anyone.

I'm interested in hearing how others balance protecting their privacy with gathering enough information to make an informed buying decision.
