Read about booting a Linux live system into RAM straight from a USB flash drive. This bypasses your normal OS and, indeed, your entire hard drive/SSD completely and creates a temporary Linux OS session directly into RAM that WILL NOT USE PERSISTENCE of any kind, and will not touch your installed storage devices, unless you specifically okay doing so when prompted during shutdown, or manually mount a volume for read/write operations yourself. Else, your session will simply be flushed completely from memory on shutdown/reboot. Tracking cookies, scripts, even potential malware will just disappear completely on reboot, unless they somehow manage to infect your system's UEFI, but in practice I've yet to see any that could successfully pull this off. Read about distros like Puppy Linux, Fatdog, Porteux, Slax and Tails that behave in the described manner, and familiarize yourself with the term "frugal install". All the listed systems are, or at least should be very compatible and friendly with Pale Moon's Linux builds.
