thanks a lot

though I’m having trouble understanding what exact information will thunderbird leak to email service provider.

Does this mean thunderbird will send (Examples of the global OS configuration available to apps are time zone, network country code and other similar global settings.) to any email service provider that is logged in on thunderbird?

UPDATE: iceraven vs ironfox

https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1lkagoz/iceraven_vs_ironfox_firefox_fork_for_android/

I use both! Ironfox is hardened to improve security as best as possible for a gecko based android browser and focuses mainly on preventing fingerprinting, similar to mullvad’s browser. Because of these extra privacy protections some websites will be more prone to break or render goofy on ironfox, but luckily I haven’t ran into that issue yet.

Iceraven just strips out mozilla’s tracking and adds tons of extra extensions and customizability, but doesn’t include the extra security hardening or fingerprint protection like ironfox does.

Both devs are very good at keeping up with releases imo.

So if you really need airtight fingerprint prevention, or want extra security hardening, I’d go with ironfox. Also just a note, even with ironfox’s hardening, it’s still not as secure as a chromium based browser. Some people have very strong opinions on the gecko vs chromium security debate so I’m just pointing that out as a disclaimer. If you’re gonna be treading into websites where there’s a significant risk of picking up something nefarious in the background, stick with a chromium based browser for those sites as a precaution. Just my 2 cents.

could you briefly explain what this is? should I use this as a location server for GOS? thanks a lot

I see! thanks a lot

thanks a lot!

though could you briefly explain the term “Network Location”? what does this “network” represents? How is it going to help with location and geopositioning? My understanding is that by enabling “Network Location” the location defined with “Network” is sent to SLP server as assisted data for geopositioning.

I would assume “Network” represents cellular data, hope someone could confirm

thanks a lot

I sincerely hope you could improve your comprehension skill

Oh but you do

I have made my point and clarified myself in my previous comment. If you are having trouble comprehending it you can ask nicely

You say Apple isn’t any better (or worse off) than Android when it comes to privacy. If that’s the case, you would then prove your claim with facts from reputable sources. Just saying something doesn’t make it true.

I would expect your apology for your misuse of language. I would also expect your gratitude in return for the time I spent enlightening you.

None can make a solid conclusion about which one is better because both stock google and apple are closed source. YOU CAN ONLY GUESS

as you didn’t answer my question so I will ask you again

If you dont even care why paste your comment under my other cross post?

The downvotes say otherwise.

The downvotes means nothing without coherent logic

The onus is on you to provide Apple is worse for privacy than android.

I don’t have the responsibility to show you why you are wrong

good luck

Sincere thanks

thank you you seem to understand very much about windows and computer. May I ask

How to run something you don’t trust without performance lost?

How to restrict software permission with open source software?

If you don’t want to type please provide videos and articles you read before that address my question

I’m keen to read

Thank you

thank you for your information, would you say JShelter does everything Chameleon do (including spoofing) so that if I use JShelter I don’t have to use Chameleon?

I’m still bit confused. How rendering could result in fingerprinting? If canvas and other fingerprinting is disabled of course. how is ad render different from rendering other element on a webpage

what about other program?

@Rikudou_Sage@lemmy.world

this is absolutely horrorstruck

is there a way to prevent this?

for instance is there a way to run steam on windows without giving it access to any of access it shouldn’t have?

Thanks

I think there might be a bit of misunderstanding about what those permissions mean. The extensions just need to be able to “see” the contents of a web page in order to be able to hide ads, change font & background colors, edit URLs, or redirect resource requests. There is no other way for them to perform those functions unless they have permission to read the original data presented by websites you visit.

Thanks a lot

Web pages are not allowed to list your extensions. They can indirectly surmise you have certain extensions based on how your requests differ from expectations. For example, if they have advertisements, but your browser never actually makes any requests to load the images, CSS, JS or HTML for the advertisements, they can deduce you have an ad-blocker. That’s a datapoint they now have to ID you: “has an ad-blocker”

Now let’s say they have an ad they know AdBlockPlus allows, but uBlock Origin doesn’t. They see your browser doesn’t load that ad. Another datapoint: “Not using AdBlockPlus”.

Based on what requests go back and forth between your browser and their servers, they map out a unique fingerprint.
