Should I Disable WebSocket Connection on My Web Browser (in terms of privacy)?
Considering disabling WebSocket connections for security reasons. Any experience or thoughts? Have you disabled WebSockets? Any notable issues or performance changes?

No, it is unnecessary, and it would break many auto updating websites, for example, if you use mail in web, then your mail provider has web sockets to get notifications from server to fetch you mail.
I generally would recommend to disable javascript , and have a whitelist for websites you trust (easily achievable by ublock, or no script). If they do not have js, most attack vectors are neutralised. If you can trust a website to run js, you can trust it to run web sockets.
Thanksalot my friend
I don’t trust reddit for running JS but if I disable it the website weouldn’t function correctly, is there a work around?
old reddit or libreddit (now redlib). If you browse without accout, that should be enough. If you have a account, I would still enable js only for old reddit and not reddit as whole.
Old reddit got renamed??? Why’d they do something to something they secretly wanna get rid of
no, libreddit ( a privacy frontend for reddit, third party) was renamed to redlib.
