Whenever End-user like me does a fresh installation, these following "settings or preferences should be default for better privacy", then after whenever user needs to change for adjustment according to his convenience at any time.

Settings > #) Basics >
Password (Section) > All 4 options “Off by Default”.

Payment Methods (Section) > 1 option/s “Off by Default”.

Addresses and More (Section) > 1 option/s “Off by Default”.

Privacy and security (Section) >
Optional
Clear browsing data > Advanced (tab) > Time range > All time > “All options checked” Excluding Site settings.
Always use secure connections > “ON by Default”.

Access payment methods > “OFF by Default”.

Preload pages > “No Preloading by Default”.

Comment "Controversial Deception (Some sources of DNS app developers or coders)", AnywayUse Secure DNS, “ON by Default, Already Implemented Automatic > change to custom text filled > dns.quad9.net”,

Enable HTTP Referrer Header “ON by Default Or Here uazo what you think is best option ?”

Do Not Track (Option) ; “ON by Default” on new fresh Installation or on any new update. First Priority.

Allow custom tab intents (Option) ; “Many people's voting with point of view, (similar to webview)”.

Autocomplete searches and URLS > “OFF by Default”.

Settings > #) Advanced >
Accessibility > Enable Accessibility Service > “Documentation Reason OFF by Default”.

“All Site settings” blocked by default, EXCEPT 1) Automatic download and 2) Desktop Site mode (prompt user once per session).

Let’s check and verify in depth, as follows :-

Cookies > “Block all cookies (chromium warning not recommended, Features on many sites may not work)”

1. IGNORE THIS WARNING for maximum time, unless you use login and sign-in sites AND STILL “BLOCK ALL COOKIES”,
2. Foremost important make this your default global setting’s privacy habilt) and
3. Exception allowed ; ask (bromite’s message prompt) and let user decide per (which) site basis only to ignore.

Camera > “Blocked by Default”.
Microphone > “Blocked by Default”.
Motion Sensors > “Blocked by Default”.
Notifications > “Blocked by Default”.

perfect, very good basis to work on, thank you.

[Universalizer]

Uazo If you want, you can re-open this discussion.

Shall we start with chrome://flags/ ?

[Universalizer]

I know 'you alone' are capable of doing mighty work.
You know many things well-versed than me.

I'm just a suggestor.

[uazo]

trust me, I have not forgotten this, and that I have more fun editing code than writing :)
and cromite for me is fun.
writing documentation is not. :( I already do it all the time for work...

[Universalizer]

I trust you. I thought you might forgot about these, may be your busy schedule.

Any way, we have two options,

1. Each & every flags, or
2. Just minimum & basic only.

Which one you prefer.

[Universalizer]

Next step, some chrome://flags/ preferences or configuration > Default On or Off + permanent (never expired).

Regards to:

Do Not Track (Option) ; “ON by Default” on new fresh Installation or on any new update. First Priority.

A perceived benefit of keeping DNT set OFF is that a site which finds it ON for a well-known UA must assume the setting was the result of an express user action and, therefore, more meaningfully represents user intent.

[Universalizer]

Suggestion

On new fresh Installation Or On any new update.
First Run Priority Important Reminder > A wizard or pop up message prompt to end user for Privacy respecting reason :- Do Not Track (Option) must be always ; “Toggled ON”.
Let this wizard's interactivity call/takes, the end user their (at that setting) and prompt/blink their constantly; to do necessary action.

Is it possible ?
