Thank you so very much

The downvotes say otherwise.

The downvotes means nothing without coherent logic

The onus is on you to provide Apple is worse for privacy than android.

I don’t have the responsibility to show you why you are wrong

good luck

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

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?

What HTML5 Canvas features does your browser support

Would you recommend disabling canvas?

thanks my friend

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

PineTab2

I dont think it has stylus support

good point

your argument: apple is good for privacy

mine: apple is bad for privacy

I believe people who are not apple fanboy could see clearly who’s the idiot here

also if you dont even care why paste your comment under my other cross post?

if you dont even care why comment?

if you are suggesting apple is better than google intermsof privacy I suspect you are a apple fanboy

thanks a lot, but none seems support a smooth krita experience

It would be really great if you could lookinto it and provide your experience
