I checked my settings while on vpn on the website panopticlick and while I'm mostly good, my browser fingerprint is "unique".
not that I have anything to hide but I like being private. It's supposed to be a right in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave...
I tried turning off javascript through about:config but it just breaks sites-like this one.
I suspect that using an obscure browser is actually going to make you stand out even more. :-/
By the way, I will edit this to add that I named my daughter Ambrosia. She wears the name well.
What a lovely name for a little girl! Believe it or not, I use FF developer edition #whatever...tweak the snot out of "About:config" in an attempt to turn off geolocation, pocket, hello and all the telemetry shite FF has...try to maintain privacy and you stick out even more!
Sheesh.
When everybody is walking around in the open and acting normal, the person trying to conceal their face stands out like a sore thumb.
My solution has been to treat the 'net as though it is insecure and to accept that anonymity really isn't possible against a sophisticated observer. So, I keep my hardware as secure as possible and avoid saying anything that I'd prefer to keep private. I don't even do the majority of my banking online. I have a couple of accounts that are configured for online access, but the rest are pretty mundane and old-fashioned. My preferred credit union is pretty cool about not forcing me to configure an online account.
Fortunately, I'm not really trying to hide anything and I don't have anything very controversial to say. I'm pretty trivial to "dox."
I tried Tor a few years ago and found the endless updates too annoying to deal with. I'm thinking there is little a person can do now days to maintain privacy...I'll look at the global scope rules more carefully - thanks for pointing this out.
There was a open source browser called "Drooble" or Dooble" that looked amazing and seemed to have a lot of privacy built in. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to render a page and sadly, it's not supported anymore. Too bad too because it had real potential
