    No browser written in Rust. Anonymity and privacy protecting projects lag far behind and remain starved of funding when compared to the development and elaboration of military AI and #surveillance #tech.

    #Mullvad and #Librewolf browsers do not have user agent spoofing. Such a specific string is like a machine-id, which #Whonix handles by giving every machine the same id. Randomly generated strings that do not persist like Librewolf are a different solution and resist.fingerprinting in #Firefox takes a another approach as #Mental_Outlaw points out.

    Mullvad Browser with #Oniux works well
    (around 7 bits of identifying information with javascript.enabled in about:config set to false)
    To add or remove uBlock to blend in with TAILS OS or all other Linux since there is no way to set UA to the more common Windows? Does #EFF share those fingerprinting statistics? What is the most common UA according to their observations?

  2. You know how #RichardStallman #GNU laments #javascript but also how nothing works without it? gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-
    Alright, so say you torsocks lynx ( #KU ) #ProjectGutenberg. Alternately, you could use highest security #TorBrowser with #noscript. But have you tried #Vanguards #Whonix GW with #vlc ? There is a lot that can be done with vlc for media that wouldn't work in a tor browser (netscape-plus) with vanguards. You would think that there is more anonymity because more people use the more popular #browser / #terminal -plus method but there are trade-offs with functionality and less data leaking. Is less data leaking a form of fingerprint? @mokancan
