thanks a lot!

thanks a lot

though I'm having trouble understanding what exact information will thunderbird leak to email service provider.

Does this mean thunderbird will send (Examples of the global OS configuration available to apps are time zone, network country code and other similar global settings.) to any email service provider that is logged in on thunderbird?

right then hopefully someone could see this post and confirm

UPDATE: iceraven vs ironfox

https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1lkagoz/iceraven_vs_ironfox_firefox_fork_for_android/

I use both! Ironfox is hardened to improve security as best as possible for a gecko based android browser and focuses mainly on preventing fingerprinting, similar to mullvad's browser. Because of these extra privacy protections some websites will be more prone to break or render goofy on ironfox, but luckily I haven't ran into that issue yet.

Iceraven just strips out mozilla's tracking and adds tons of extra extensions and customizability, but doesn't include the extra security hardening or fingerprint protection like ironfox does.

Both devs are very good at keeping up with releases imo.

So if you really need airtight fingerprint prevention, or want extra security hardening, I'd go with ironfox. Also just a note, even with ironfox's hardening, it's still not as secure as a chromium based browser. Some people have very strong opinions on the gecko vs chromium security debate so I'm just pointing that out as a disclaimer. If you're gonna be treading into websites where there's a significant risk of picking up something nefarious in the background, stick with a chromium based browser for those sites as a precaution. Just my 2 cents.

could you briefly explain what this is? should I use this as a location server for GOS? thanks a lot

I see! thanks a lot

thanks a lot! what about device model, is this info also sent?

thank you so much!

Would you recommend everyone to turn on this DRM setting? Is there any downside? This seems like a perfect option to prevent MediaDRM tracking and I'm suprised it's not default turned on

thanks a lot, didn't know that, is there any way to block it?

push notifications to work

by push notifications to work you mean?

Sandboxed Google Play is only considered an app in GrapheneOS. It shouldn't have direct access to the IMEI number unless it's explicitly granted permission.

I remember it being explained in the GrapheneOS FAQ that only the OS and the phone (dialer) app have access to the IMEI number. However, I'm not an expert, so I can't say for sure.

Could you please provide a link that confirms whether sandboxed Google Play or any app has direct access to the IMEI number? Thanks a lot!

Press and hold on the image in google photo does nothing, there should be a pop-up to allow me copy photo

thanks a lot

thanks a lot

thanks a lot

thanks a lot!

though could you briefly explain the term "Network Location"? what does this "network" represents? How is it going to help with location and geopositioning? My understanding is that by enabling "Network Location" the location defined with "Network" is sent to SLP server as assisted data for geopositioning.

I would assume "Network" represents cellular data, hope someone could confirm

thank you for the clarification!

changed my device name!

I cannot find any reliable source that says personal hotspot can see the device model connecting to it, would be really great if someone could clarify this here.

But, some wifi access points can detect your device model anyways. My Xfinity gateway will show my Phone’s name and what model of phone I have.

I believe this is true as there is browser plugin for spoofing device model

thanks a lot!

thanks a lot!

thanks a lot!

using another not-private device is just a temporary solution. In the end I would like to use a portable router that supports MAC/IMEI randomnization
