@[email protected] here comes @[email protected] the anti fingerprint able browser to kick Google’s arse.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Good to know, thanks for sharing!
@[email protected] so, if digital fingerprinting works by sending all kinds of extra data, how to stop the browser from reporting on screen resolution and battery status?
@[email protected] will actively eff up the fingerprinting by returning slightly obfuscated data each time. Like the with of your browser and stuff like that
Not by much. Just enough to make sure there won’t be a match

I can’t believe this is a surprise to anyone.
I never used these scans - on any device.@[email protected]
And when we all try to protect ourselves individually, the only real protection is legislation and verification.Google’s relentless tracking – and commercializing what should be private data – is a menace.
@[email protected] “no escape” isn’t correct. Don’t use Google services (e.g search,) don’t use Google software (e.g Chrome.) De-Google your life.

Now, Google can gather data without requiring explicit user consent: with digital fingerprinting.
That’s incorrect. Consent is still required as the fingerprinting is creating identifiable information.
Moreover it is leveraging terminal device access which effectively the same as storing cookies.
@[email protected] if a website does not have advertisements and no fonts or anything served by Google, how can your fingerprint get to Google?
@[email protected] While not applicable in all scenarios, one solution is to leave this whole polluted protocol behind.

The experience is like early web, in a good way.

@[email protected] Here’s a site that lets you see your fingerprint
Nice article summarizing dangers of browser fingerprinting tactics, now adopted by Google.
Use a browser with anti-fingerprinting features.
A number to use. I use Mullvad browser(Tor based).
