Nothing tells me more that you care about my privacy than sharing my data with hundreds or thousands of companies.

That would be awesome.

Defaulting to "Private Browsing" achieves most of the desired effect, but I still have to switch to regular mode for sites I sign in to.

Needless to say, my technique is only effective because I'm a socoal pariah who doesn't sign into anything owned by Meta or Google.

Your method would annoy me because of having to log in to websites 'all of the time' instead of allowing at least some to have persistent logins. Losing website preferences would also be annoying.

Yep. That's another issue with it.

I "solve" (not really a solution) that by opening a new non-private tab just when visiting sites that I sign into.

It's certainly not perfect, even some places that I shop run crazy amounts of tracking.
