• I Got Gemini to Figure Out My Nephew's Name

  It is also one of the key tools people use for swatting. Just the style of my writing gives me away. Even if that method just gets you down to 5 people it is way easier to go thru 5 peoples information than thousands. Even something as simple as which browser you use and what the thing emits can identify you. https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago

  Fingerprinting is an active area of research (both attack and defense), so the answer is, maybe, depending on just how unique your setup is. EFF has a nice demo that will try to fingerprint you and tell you how trackable you are based on non-cookie data: https://coveryourtracks.eff.org Of course, new techniques are invented all the time, so that may not cover everything. - Source: Hacker News / 17 days ago

  I removed the finger-printing from my browser with degoogle: https://github.com/tycrek/degoogle that has a adtrack company that openly shows how it fingerprints you, with WebGL, canvas'ing, timestamps. I have the random timestamp addon, random user-agents, canvas blocker, exfil data, Ublock origin. The 0.0.0.0 day 'Port Scanner' -> - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Best way to set up a risky blog?

  First of all, don't use AI for a picture or lie about who you are. Just post under a pseudonym, while making it clear that yes, it is a pseudonym. Giving a human touch to it is a nice idea, but if it gets found out - which it might be - people will immediately distrust what you say. Second, you probably have two major concerns: hosting and staying anonymous. Hosting is relatively easy, and there's a surprisingly... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• The /unblock API from Browserless: dodging bot detection as a service

  I'm sure that happens, but I haven't done any work with gyro data myself. There's similar logic for mouse cursor movements, there are libraries out there that will generate a natural looking curve that moves the cursor from one position to another, with imperfections that emulate human hand movement. > Why do we even need an actual device? We can emulate if we even need to and set our headers to look like we're... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Best Alternatives to Brave that randomize fingerprints right out of the bat?

  I tried bunch of others recently - like Epic, Floorp, Vivaldi or even Ghostery. But read some alarming articles about Vivaldi (and its Chinese overlords), Epic just being mouthy about their privacy, but really delivering.
