Disable JavaScript, to bypass paywall.

Abstract

Browser fingerprinting is a growing technique for identifying and tracking users online without traditional methods like cookies. This paper gives an overview by examining the various fingerprinting techniques and analyzes the entropy and uniqueness of the collected data. The analysis highlights that browser fingerprinting poses a complex challenge from both technical and privacy perspectives, as users often have no control over the collection and use of their data. In addition, it raises significant privacy concerns as users are often tracked without their knowledge or consent.

Methods of Browser Fingerprinting

• A. HTTP Header Attributes
• B. Enumeration of Browser Plugins
• C. Canvas Fingerprinting
• D. WebGL Fingerprinting
• E. Audio Fingerprinting
• F. Font Fingerprinting
• G. Screen Fingerprinting
• H. WebRTC Fingerprinting
• I. CSS Fingerprinting
• J. Additional JavaScript Attributes
• K. Advanced Techniques Using Machine Learning

Italy’s data privacy regulator on Friday announced that it has levied a €5 million ($5.2 million) fine against an Italian GPS-based food delivery service for tracking the geolocation of its drivers, including outside of working hours.

Disable JavaScript, to bypass paywall.

Chinese black market operators are openly recruiting government agency insiders, paying them for access to surveillance data and then reselling it online—no questions asked.

On Android/GrapheneOS, Firefox/Mull/variants is the only browser with the needed proxy settings to use with i2p.

After a bit of searching, it works very well!

As i2p servers you can use "i2p", "i2pd" (more minimal but more efficient) or "InviziblePro" which bundles some implementation of i2p.

I am using i2pd currently, and it works well.

Installed the apps with Obtainium

• Mull from the DivestOS F-Droid repo
• i2pd from the purplei2p F-Droid repo
• MullvadVPN from Github, Orbot from the guardianproject repo (as fallback if clearnet sites are used)

The browser can open .i2p and clearnet sites, using a little hack:

network.proxy.no_proxies_on to !.i2p
