Thank you so very much

and seems to be better than noscript

Thanks

Do you have a real need to prevent this data from being collected

maybe

or are you investigating just for best practice advice?

yes

There are a lot of posts like this where people overestimate the threat model they have and insist on needing to block things that are nearly impossible to, or at least have significant tradeoffs like you are dealing with now

could you explain why it is nealy impossible from only blocking javascript from attaining "local machine operating system + version "? I don't think this kind of information is relevant for webpage displaying. I dont think webpage will break if we ban js from doing so

I would assume you could technically fork localCDN (replaces remote javascript libraries with local copies) and then manually edit the local javascript library copies to remove the calls you are concerned about.

that could work I guess when I have enough js knowledge

There’s also options like uBlock Origin’s methods of only whitelisting specific scripts. Much more flexible than NoScript. You can block scripts that are third party and only allow site specific ones fairly easily, without digging deep into the settings.

is it possible to adjust uBlock Origin whitelisting and disallow js that retrieve "local machine operating system + version " from running?

Bear in mind that your specific combination of installed extensions can also be a unique identifier though.

Does this mean website can see all the extensions I installed?

I am willing to spend thousands if there really is one with great functionality and portability

What HTML5 Canvas features does your browser support

Would you recommend disabling canvas?

from my understanding it is a dns blocker, not sure how it is related though, could you elaborate?

Personally I think a websites requires machine architecture is dubious and necessary, webpage should be functional without those info

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

good point

will look into that

I guess linux tablet could be an alternative?

may I ask how is the precision of pressure sensor?

Yeah man, you’re delving into unreasonable territory here.

Simply trying to clarify that apple isn't a good alternative in terms of privacy

I guess what I'm looking for doesn't exist yet.

as you didn't answer my question so I will ask you again

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

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

I'm afraid I will have to agree with with @sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today Murena tablet seems to be too expensive and less featured compared with pixel tablet + grapheneOS

Ubuntu touch could be an alternative though

thank you this could be a good alternative
