I’m glad it acknowledges explains the impacts of anti-fingerprinting measures. I’ve seen some others assume that a random canvas is unique rather than one of the many people randomising it the same way, leading to a false “unique” assessment.

Your browser appears to be returning the viewport in place of the real screen — anti-fingerprinting at work. The substitution is itself distinctive.

Your browser masked your graphics processor. Firefox and Safari have started returning generic strings — “Mozilla”, “Apple”, “or similar” — instead of the real renderer. The fact that yours did so tells us, with reasonable confidence, which browser you are running. The mask is also a fingerprint.

Tragic to hear. I didn’t even think of RSS as vulnerable to advertising, but of course it is.

Valid, of course. Although,

I’m doing that and I’m not even short of money.

Among all the other reasons, I’m not short of money, but I can still use that money for other things. And honestly, even just throwing the savings down a drain at least means it doesn’t go to these companies.

I know people who have some app, I forget its name, on their smart television which is very accessible. It looks like a regular streaming service dashboard. Torrenting doesn’t have to be difficult and technical - but I wouldn’t have seen this if I didn’t go to that friend’s place.
