It was at the Securedrop website. How did I end up there ? I read something about Sequoia and encryption and then wanted to see what Securedrop entailed.
Meanwhile I’ve raised the security settings. Still, today someone in this community (?) mentioned that Tor browser does not protect the remote to check for the OS, and now this. Color me surprised.

Wow nice. Any opinions on how these fingerprinting evaluators compare?

EFF’s Cover Your Tracks:

Am I Unique?:
https://amiunique.org
Sad a pretty stock iPhone that’s blocking via some filterlists and using iCloud Private Relay (a “VPN”) is so detectable! Should be so many browsers appearing similar but there’s always this & that that mean I’m unique.
Just tried amiunique.org and got this…
“Yes! You are unique among the 2561164 fingerprints in our entire dataset.”
So much for using VPN and “hardened” Mull browser 😅
Isn’t it disappointing :(
It really makes it feel like we’re all just wasting time here on a futile effort trying to get digital privacy. Clearly the steps I’ve taken make absolutely no fucking difference, so it’s not really worth the hassle TBH.
Haven’t used amiunique but the EFF one I have seen people criticize because it only checks your uniqueness among people who opted in to take the test, so the results can be highly skewed.
They renamed panopticlick to cover your tracks? It was such a good name!
