Google is allowing its advertizing customers to fingerprint website visitors. Can you stop it?

    Me loving GrapheneOS intensifies.

    Chromium and Webview ripped out and replaced with hardened Vanadium.

        I’m able to use Organic Maps with RH Voice with the sandboxed Google Play + Android Auto Graphene uses for my travelling/cycling/Public-transit map needs.

        Mint Mobile. I’m fine with 5GB/5G:$15/month ~$185/year. 🤘😁.

        I download flac songs/albums for off line use with Tidal when not streaming on WiFi.

        PipePipe for YouTube/etc stuffs. 720p or background playback to save bandwith/battery isn’t bad.

        Thunderbird for my gmail account.

        But in process of moving to Tuta.

      Last I recall, Vanadium lags behind customized-Firefox in privacy features, and even more behind the Tor Browser.

      Having a tool like Noscript is absolutely necessary, with today’s browsers, if you want to fight fingerprinting.

        All I known is DivestOS is dead as is Mull 😮.

        And there’s things Vanadium/web view offer that Android Firefox never can:

        • https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html

        By default Vanadium’s JIT JavaScript is blocked. Can easily turn off regular JavaScript if ya want on site settings.

          this article does not attempt to compare the privacy practices of each browser but rather their resistance to exploitation.

          The Madaidans article lacks relevance, we are talking about fingerprinting.

          Android Firefox never can

          That’s just not true, many of those are things that Android Firefox likely won’t do, but that doesn’t mean they can’t do it.

          That said, I care more about privacy than theoretical attacks. Companies are tracking me, black hats might attack me.

    Getting away from Google isn’t easy, but it’s required.

    After reading these reports of intensified fingerprinting I decided to block all scripts on my browser using uBlock. Can’t do much regarding the IP tho
