you misspelled yggdrasil

that’s an awfully high horse you’re up on, son

is this vibe-coded

“theoretically” is doing an enormous amount of heavy lifting here… tracking specific identifiable people in this manner (especially when multiple people are present) is about as close to sci-fi as we can get at this moment in time.

It’s not that hard really… application-level firewall, only allow the apps you actually use. Or you could block all access from your router except to a proxy, and then configure just the apps you use to use the proxy. Eliminates 99.9% of unwanted outbound traffic.

Many other OSes, distros and apps phone home/have telemetry too (yes even Linux ones), it’s not like this is some egregious behavior nobody else does.

oh the irony

That’s not documentation, you’re intentionally twisting people’s words to support a specific narrative that wasn’t there in the first place.

and that’s still not enough. thanks Flock

To be fair, there are many humans who talk this way too, but point taken.

Thwarted in what sense? The vast majority of users on the planet blindly accept fine location permissions for every single app, I think that will make most users of this tech happy enough.

How long before faraday clothes become fashionable?

Tell that to all the people whose google accounts of 20+ years got locked out with zero recourse or warning.

For me it means getting a different FP ID on every page refresh, so it never thinks you are the same visitor. I’ve never seen the tests hang at the end, I assume there is something unique it’s doing that is different from other browsers.

Fingerprinting and tracking extras

But can it fool creepjs?

Even if it was inspectable content, there are other ways to hide content such as steganography.

The technology works by measuring the time of flight or signal strength between a user’s device and multiple nearby WiFi routers

All of that can still be spoofed, and there’s no guarantee any other wifi routers are within range. Some adapters won’t even background scan at all while you’re connected to a station already. Not to mention information like that is not accessible in the first place unless you’re running a real app outside the browser.

Without the key, the server operator:

• can’t know if the content being reported actually exists

• can’t know if the content should actually be removed or not

E2E doesn’t prevent malicious uploads
