Google is allowing its advertising customers to fingerprint website visitors. Can you stop it?

    Last I recall, Vanadium lags behind customized-Firefox in privacy features, and even more behind the Tor Browser.

    Having a tool like Noscript is absolutely necessary, with today’s browsers, if you want to fight fingerprinting.

      And there’s things Vanadium/web view offer that Android Firefox never can:

      • https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html

      By default Vanadium’s JIT JavaScript is blocked. Can easily turn off regular JavaScript if ya want on site settings.

        this article does not attempt to compare the privacy practices of each browser but rather their resistance to exploitation.

        The Madaidans article lacks relevance, we are talking about fingerprinting.

        Android Firefox never can

        That’s just not true, many of those are things that Android Firefox likely won’t do, but that doesn’t mean they can’t do it.

        That said, I care more about privacy than theoretical attacks. Companies are tracking me, black hats might attack me.
