Privacy Guides

It's easy to assume a VPN keeps you private, but they're not effective against the most prevalent form of cross-site tracking: Browser Fingerprinting.

Our latest video covers what browser fingerprinting is in detail and what you can do to protect yourself from trackers, plus we spoke with @ruihildt from @mullvadnet for more info on what the top privacy browsers are doing about this problem.

@privacyguides @mullvadnet it’s interesting to read, to watch and to learn about browser fingerprinting. But why does it give me the feeling this is a advertisement for mullvad VPN and browser?

@SeeS that being said, we do absolutely think Mullvad Browser is a very cool tool.

@privacyguides @mullvadnet

I suppose if we had two component layers:-
A virtual browser, which presents the same story to servers regardless of what it runs on, where, or what is within its network;
A virtual Web, which presents the same behaviour of the Web to the browsers looking at it from within its network regardless of what the sites are doing;

There'd need to be some cleverness within each and limited cleverness between them, but then rather less in the servers and browsers.

@Photo55 this is kind of what I like about ActivityPub/Mastodon. AP servers are publishing all sorts of content to the internet, but that content is first ingested by my own server and then served to me via whatever client I want, without the original publisher knowing my client's details.
