🔍🎩 Oh, look! A blog post has uncovered the "new" secret of browser fingerprinting, something we've all known about since the dawn of time. But sure, let's panic like it's Y2K again! 😱✨ Apparently, deleting history is as effective as a chocolate teapot when it comes to this "terrifying" tech 🕵️‍♀️🚫🍪.

A social media ban for younger people and "mandatory ID scans" are TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES.

1) It's well established that many corporations already know more info than your ID can ever provide. Browser fingerprinting has been around for about 15 years now, and has advanced considerably since as advertisers demanded to know more about "users". If you're concerned about showing your ID, you'll be very upset learning what fingerprinting is: https://fingerprint.com/blog/browser-fingerprinting-techniques/

2) Facebook and X/Twitter are unethical corporations with a bad track record on user privacy. They will shape this as the worst case scenario because children are seen as a constant "emerging market" and they need an ever younger audience, no different than the mentality of an immoral drug dealer. They are not "The Internet" and nothing they ask for is "mandatory."

I'm not going to argue whether a social media ban for younger people is good or bad, I only want to challenge the corporate propaganda that this policy means they're going to have to take your first born child, when the irony is, the policy is trying to protect them from such corporations.

It looks like Google can track me in other ways.
Note that I never sign in to my Google account here, and I clear cookies, local storage, etc, every time I exit the browser. I do not use browser extensions like Location Guard.

Do I appear to be in Singapore? I'm not in Singapore right now.

Google Chrome Fails to Thwart Browser Fingerprinting

If a browser claims to be safe but fails to block one of the easiest ways for advertisers to track you online, can it really be considered safe? Google Chrome, despite its reputation for security, surprisingly leaves users vulnerable to browser fingerprinting, a pervasive tracking method that can uniquely identify and follow you around…

@axels my favorite tool doesn't exist.

In today's current online environment, if you don't want your online behavior following you around, you need to shake your device fingerprint. There's no way around that, really. For some people, this looks like a multi-login #browser for others, it's just using different browsers for different tasks. The #tech simply does not exist to allow the average consumer to stop trackers from following them everywhere they go on the #internet.

When an adversary can link your behavior across sites and sessions, that gives them the ability to build a comprehensive profile of who you are. Your hobbies, interests, schedule, habits, worries, and beliefs all crammed into one profile.

I've found that I can successfully make my device appear as another device by modifying HTTPS headers, #JavaScript, TLS fingerprint, and network telemetry values (like TTL, MSS, window size, etc.). This #privacy approach allows me to scrub my browsers native fingerprint and replace it with a new one.

The key is coherency, though, tools like fingerprintJS can detect mismatches between headers and JS advertised properties and flag the user as a bot. Though, browsers like #firefox, #brave, and #duckduckgo do a good job of mitigating many of these fingerprinting techniques.

I've developed some #opensource tooling to give users free control over their data.

It's easy to assume a VPN keeps you private, but they're not effective against the most prevalent form of cross-site tracking: Browser Fingerprinting.

Our latest video covers what browser fingerprinting is in detail and what you can do to protect yourself from trackers, plus we spoke with @ruihildt from @mullvadnet for more info on what the top privacy browsers are doing about this problem.
