Do you know if these folks actively develop it or do they just apply patches to the Firefox codebase ?
Like do they just pre configure a bunch of about config settings and the pre installed search or do they harden the binaries at compile time ?
I've not kept up with this but I'm curious if there is any real advantage of this over Firefox after it has been configured. If not I would stick with Firefox as it will get security updates quicker by people who know the source code intimately.
Anyway not shitting on anyone's choices here just curious.
Both my browser and network level dns blocker blocked the test attacker site from loading but in general there are 2 approaches to this: minimize your fingerprint data points or change them to blend in with the crowd.
I think for the most part selectivly blocking js and cookies will do a lot for you. You can also block the canvas and limit fonts too. I'd also recommend a vpn as they can associate it with your ip too.
The companies are probably the biggest exposure as we are forced to interact with them for utilities, flights etc . They get hacked all of the time and dont bother to secure their data.
Also as a side note I hate how lots of places just assume you want to download their shitty spyware ridden apps or hand over your phone number or an email.
I guess it depends, personally I find it way better than the alternatives. Sure you have people with different opinions but thats a good thing, just block the trolls and assholes and carry on.
The race to the bottom continues imagine all the useful things we could be doing instead of this fucking shit just to take more from the pockets of people. Fuck this shit
