Very good to see these changes, but could somebody explain this one to me? I don’t understand how that helps with fingerprinting protection…
The available screen resolution is the screen height minus 48 pixels.
If I had to guess is because you can be tracked by your screen resolution too, It’s just a way to minimize that. If you start tor browser, for example, it does not open full screen but only occupy a smaller window, for the same reason
You absolutely can be tracked by screen resolution, especially when using a monitor with unusual resolution (few years ago I was still using 1440x900 so I understand this well). I just don’t understand how this specific change would help prevent that.
I remember thinking how strange it is that websites can know all of your installed fonts when I was playing around with https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ and https://www.amiunique.org/
I’m on linux and I have some extra fonts installed. Just the combination of them alone is so unique to me that you don’t need anything else.
The second big one for me is how shocking I find it that timezone spoofing isn’t standard, now that so many people use VPNs. Why would someone connecting from Sweden have their clock set to GMT? Etc
Hopefully this helps to get around some of the bullshit reddit banning
brave have it, but it doesnt look it will, reddit is too smart for that. you need things to spoof you fingerprint, IP address, device and components. im on a forum where they use anti-detect browser(not an actual browser, but to open instances of a browser using different ip/devices,etc) to manage all of this, plus you need an reddit account thats not tainted. i think reddit is too used to mozilla already, things adspower, dolphin anty, is one of many that does this.
I got identified on Brave immediately
Opera worked for me
