sinceyouarrived.world/taken has been making rounds lately so I decided to put Konform-Browser through it. This is a completely new profile with 2 changes I personally made • tor sock5proxy to protect IP address (you could use a VPN as well ig) • change the theme to light mode Out of the 21 data points Konform hides the following timezone, gpu, screen resolution & bitrate, battery. the site correctly recognizes I am using firefox-based browser and linux = not specific enough but still a factor for fingerprinting. Most other data points like time spent on the page, percentage of page scrolled, tab switches, mouse movement and clicks are not identifiers they are pretty useless in terms of fingerprinting. The page shows the theme, cookies and Do Not Track is enabled which are things that can be changed very easily... Does this make the browser unique enough to track? A: probably Will anyone use all of this data points to stalk you around the web? A: nah not really Is konform safe and good enough? A: YES Also since I used a socks5 tor proxy the IP changes everytime. You can use port forwarding, split tunneling and other VPN mumbo jumbo for the same effect... Brave was worse in some ways than konform as it exposes timezone, battery, GPU, screen info. Librewolf got pretty much the same results as konform but I didnt have to change the theme to light... What to do now? A: tor, mullvad...idk both of them can't be used in regular surfing of world wide web. Install konform-browser (only available on :linux: for now) https://konform-browser.codeberg.page/ #konformbrowser #konform #librewolf #firefox #opensource #privacy #fingerprinting #web #foss #internet #browser #surveillance
