somewhat related, is there any way at all to enable high refresh rates while using resistFingerprinting, or something I could use instead of it? this is the only thing keeping me away from resistFingerprinting on Mull and Librewolf.

Ah so that's the reason that Mull is limited to 60 hz. Sorry I have no idea

Any tips for iOS users? I got mid results

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

maybe brave? I hate it but I can't think of a better solution for IOS.

I feel like Firefox is better. Or onion is probably even better. Set your privacy settings to strict. I use iOS and my results were strong.

Also go into your iOS settings and mess around. Disable all their bullshit. I’m not a super tech savvy person. My brother is in IT, but privacy is super important to me, so I go around, read stuff, turn off a bunch of their “share with” stuff, and their Siri bullshit and everything I can tinker with. There are a lot of iOS settings buried pretty deep in subpages. I’m not sure if the eff is checking those, but I’ve had to go down my list of apps and disable some Siri bullshit.

Sorry I can’t be more specific, like I said, I’m not the tech savvy one. I just use bare bones stuff, disable things that sound fishy. It’s all worked out for me so far lol

I'm not sure if it's just me, but the page wouldn't load at all. I'm using pihole for network DNS blocking + privacy badger + noscript. Even when I allowed all the domains via noscript temporary trusting it just sat there and spun forever.

What are your browser config and settings? (Extensions, settings, about:config...)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Our tests indicate that you have strong protection against Web tracking.

IS YOUR BROWSER:

Blocking tracking ads? Yes

Blocking invisible trackers? Yes

Protecting you from fingerprinting? ◕ your browser has a randomized fingerprint

Feels good man.
