thank you so much

Thank you so very much

much appreciated

I’m still bit confused. How rendering could result in fingerprinting? If canvas and other fingerprinting is disabled of course. how is ad render different from rendering other element on a webpage

looks good, nice if someone could provide their stylus use experience

Web pages are not allowed to list your extensions. They can indirectly surmise you have certain extensions based on how your requests differ from expectations. For example, if they have advertisements, but your browser never actually makes any requests to load the images, CSS, JS or HTML for the advertisements, they can deduce you have an ad-blocker. That’s a datapoint they now have to ID you: “has an ad-blocker”

Now let’s say they have an ad they know AdBlockPlus allows, but uBlock Origin doesn’t. They see your browser doesn’t load that ad. Another datapoint: “Not using AdBlockPlus”.

Based on what requests go back and forth between your browser and their servers, they map out a unique fingerprint.

Thank you so much that makes sense

Sincere thanks

Most of those things cannot be collected through JavaScript.

Local time can.

RAM can only be approximated to protect user privacy. Edit: And it’s not available on Firefox.

OS+version are already in your browser’s user-agent string that is sent out with every request you make.

Machine hardware cannot be enumerated. JavaScript can try to guess your GPU based on what it can do with WebGL.

There is no way to get a serial number or similar.

To spoof timezone/OS+version/browser+version … and disable WebGL, use https://sereneblue.github.io/chameleon/

I guess spoofing will not make me stand out?

how does ad render in the background compromise privacy?

I am willing to spend thousands if there really is one with great functionality and portability

What HTML5 Canvas features does your browser support

Would you recommend disabling canvas?

by sensitive information I’m referring to

• local machine time
• local machine ram
• local machine operating system + version
• local machine hardware
• Serial Number
• Hardware ID
• UUID
• Windows Device ID
• Windows Product ID
• …

Can I prevent javascript from running specific command that retrieve these information?

I found chameleon which spoof local machine operating system + version and browser information. But I’m not sure about other information

I guess linux tablet could be an alternative?

Yeah man, you’re delving into unreasonable territory here.

Simply trying to clarify that apple isn’t a good alternative in terms of privacy

I guess what I’m looking for doesn’t exist yet.

doesn’t seem like a good support though

could you explain what it means by iodéOS installer compatible and Firm included?

please check What is the best degoogled tablet for an artist? - Lemmy.World as it is updated

• ipad
  • I realize my title is confusing, when I say degoogle I really meant completely Open Source and private.
  • ipad with network disabled?
    • not feasible in my use case
    • apple backdoor is highly likely in my opnion
    • Of course I don’t have any proof, but I would assume it runs camera and microphone without us knowing even when the network is disabled. The data is collected and processed locally and send to apple server when network is enabled
      • speech recognition is integrated in many app and sold to advertiser
      • I doubt apple could resist the temptation of money and the threat from government not to activate microphone and camera without us knowing
  • apple is as disgusting as google
• but of course if this is the only choice …

thanks for the clarification

this helps, Thanksalot
