A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Just FYI You would have to be using the same exact browser configuration you normally browse with, otherwise the fingerprint it has will be different.
Yeah, cookies, account logins, and other stuff make it hard too. Ex: randomly exploring gmail emails at different times of day, but not actually marking emails as read.
Right, even the most secure/private browser cannot help opsec failures... if only one person visits the same website(s) at the same time every day, you are not anonymous. But we all must define our own threat models and apply what's realistic for us individually.
Except for shared unique similarities. Fingerprinting designers know "not all data is good data" and will then filter out bad data and use hard to change charateristics, like hardware or software similarities, which can enable cross-browser fingerprinting.
What is a "shared unique similarity"? Sounds a lot like something that isn't unique to me...
Unique to you, shared between your different browsers.
