  • The only browser which actually made improvements to mitigate fingerprint is Tor Browser. It’s basically make all users look the same thus making fingerprint way more difficult. If you need protection against that form of tracking you don’t have other choice. Also, IceRaven it’s just a fork of Firefox which doesn’t lag behind updates. Therefore, it’s highly recommended stay away of it. If you don’t want telemetry then disable it through about:config in Firefox.

    If you are looking for privacy and security, Bromite is a good mixture. Way more secure than any gecko base browser.








  • If you want to ban me, go ahead. I have no problem with that.

    https://lemmy.ml/post/140015/comment/105195. Look at you. Why are you posting this image? Its pointless because commerscamOS has never been affiliated with GrapheneOS. You’re accusing communities to be racist without a proof, you’re accusing a me to follow some sort of agenda without any proff. That’s you. You always do that. At this point I’m genuinely amused, nothing more nothing less.

    You have been banned from spite, grapheneOS, r/privacy r/privacytoolsio r/Firefox and now r/privacyguides for your content and your behavior. That’s all. No other reasons. And in my opinion you’re going to be banned elsewhere most likely, because at some point people get tired of people acting like you. The first person reply under your post said that you’re an asshole. Literally. That’s actual sad and explain all in my opinion.

    I don’t know why @dessalines@lemmy.ml and @nutomic@lemmy.ml have not banned you already. You behavior is so evident. You are also the same person which months ago was defining GrapheneOS users as "WORTHLESS DESPICABLE RAT. and now you’re pretending to be the nice guy of the situation by telling people to be the “better person”. Again, that’s explain all.






















  • according to the Tor browser:

    Fingerprinting is the process of collecting information about a device or service to make educated guesses about its identity or characteristics. Unique behavior or responses can be used to identify the device or service analyzed.

    So, to answer your question, yes, fingerprint contribute to tracking. The only browser which really protect you from fingerprint is Tor browser since it aims to make all users look the same. The rest is just marketing and not real substance.

    So, if you really need protection against fingerprint, use Tor browser.




  • There is a very interesting article written by Snowden dealing with this topic.

    https://edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/conspiracy-pt1

    The greatest conspiracies are open and notorious — not theories, but practices expressed through law and policy, technology, and finance. Counterintuitively, these conspiracies are more often than not announced in public and with a modicum of pride. They’re dutifully reported in our newspapers; they’re bannered onto the covers of our magazines; updates on their progress are scrolled across our screens — all with such regularity as to render us unable to relate the banality of their methods to the rapacity of their ambitions.

    The party in power wants to redraw district lines. The prime interest rate has changed. A free service has been created to host our personal files. These conspiracies order, and disorder, our lives; and yet they can’t compete for attention with digital graffiti about pedophile Satanists in the basement of a DC pizzeria.

    • encrypted database for passwords protected with a strong passphrase
    • encrypted database for TOTP protected with a strong passphrase
    • Recovery codes printed stored in a physical location

    edit: If you store both passwords and recovery codes in the same database, it wouldn’t be 2FA anymore. If your database was compromised, a malicious actor would have directly access to your accounts due to avoiding 2FA since it could easily use recovery codes.
