Decided to test some browser fingerprinting this morning via the Cover Your Tracks tool by @eff. @brave, @librewolf, and (no surprise) @torproject all performed (or appeard to perform) better than @mullvadnet.
My one grip with the @mullvadnet browser is the subpar font rendering. I decided to do something about it and uploaded the configuration to @Codeberg. I have not tested it, but it should also work with the @torproject browser.
"The lawsuit's plaintiffs revealed internal emails that allegedly showed conversations between Google execs proving that the company monitored Incognito browser usage to sell ads and track web traffic."
This great news out of Australia (via @owa) makes worldwide browser choice more likely. Every jurisdiction that rejects Apple and Google's underhanded browser nonsense bring us a step closer to ending App Store rent extraction and proprietary lock-in.
If you have been following us for a while, you know that we like to speak up against unethical practices.
Let's be frank: spying on people's behavior is wrong, and #browsers should not #track or #profile its users. Period. :tony_unhappy:
If you agree with us, know that there are alternatives. Our mission is to stay true to our users and respect their privacy, and that's why we have disabled #Google#Topics API and made sure it doesn't work in Vivaldi. 🔥
Okay, my morning has been spent (so far...cuz it's still early morning) on more GTD stuff with Emacs. I replaced Beacon with Pulsar from Prot (and I love it) and then I have been going through stuff I want to learn about/read up on. (Like IRC/ERC)
One thing that BLEW me away was Xwidgets. I just opened a full browser in Emacs and WOW!! 🤯
That's what I was hoping for. Not eww (That's an old Emacs text browser btw, not an expression), but THIS! 😀 I love it! 💖
