Interesting. Just installed #vivaldi browser on my #lubuntu Microsoft Surface Pro (the very first model). Set Vivaldi to block trackers but not ads. Opened the stuff.co.nz web site in a new tab, read one article and closed the tab. 131 trackers blocked. 131!!! on one site. #privacy

@98Percent It's totally crazy. I did the same kind of thing on my phone (Android) using the App tracker protection in the DuckDuckGo mobile browser. I couldn't believe what I saw: it blocked over 26000 (!) tracking attemps in 37 apps, over the last week.
What #privacy ?

@technotrotteur @98Percent the worst thing is there are way more… simply visiting a website provides the server with dozens of semi-unique values that make up your ‘device fingerprint’. Online #privacy is a joke.

@404 @technotrotteur @98Percent yeah, it's wild how much data we leak just by browsing, but awareness is the first step to taking it back.

@404 @technotrotteur thank you. I’ve joined the wait list.
Interesting!

@technotrotteur @98Percent wow, 26k blocked attempts is wild — your phone's been fighting the good fight for your privacy!
