you already installed the apps. they've already scarfed a bunch of data likely. bad choice.

anyway just make sure you dedicate a VPN connection to them and block local network traffic in your vpn app (i know mullvad has this feature).

mullvad browser which is a TOR browser fork, seems to defeat fingerprint.com per-session.

brave strict fingerprint protection on its own actually does not even do this afaik

If it wasn't for all the survivalists and conspiracy theorists and paranoid software devs and whistleblowers and tech journos and anti-authoritarian content creators and anti-surveillance artists and even ordinary joes like me who just want to use online services withouth the digital equivalent of the weird kid in class who stood over your shoulder and watched everything you did (x1000), things could and would be much worse.

this. this is the privacy truth of the year right here. shout out to all the insane people. we dont deserve them.

Trying to understand Michael Bazzell in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

i wish people would stop viewing this guy as someone who is a guru extreme online privacy.

Bazzell is good at one thing primarily, and that is Real Life privacy/hiding, when one's adversaries on nongovernmental. that is his specialty and what he should be respected for.

Bazzell is not a huge expert in thwarting mass surveillance or thwarting nation-state adversaries in technology. otherwise he wouldnt be giving recommendations that involve closed sourced software or cloudflare lol.

He is a practical guy and knows enough to keep his clientele's privacy for the types of adversaries he is accustomed to going up against (not nation state or federal gov)
