There’s nothing dangerous here. And why would you need an app? Your browser IS the app.

While yeah, most of the stuff is "just how the web works", it's still true that the collection of these values can be used (and is being used) as a reliable fingerprint for your exact browser.

This website does a much better job at informing the user of this situation: https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

do you not consider surveillance capitalism dangerous?

[-] thenextguy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Yes I do.

mullvad and librewolf browsers are designed to prevent fingerprinting. I'm unclear how effective they are
