Came across this article and it got me thinking, are there any simple ways to defeat advanced tracking methods (fingerprinting, tracking pixels, etc.)?
Obviously you could go the Tor on a virtual machine route, or a non persistent set up like TAILS, but what about a browser that’s able to give say, a 80% solution?
I work in the security industry and am always looking for the solution that is simple enough that its palatable to a client (not asking to change your whole lifestyle, just push this button) but also relatively effective.
You don’t get the point, do you? I know I can block those, yet it’s hypocritical to complain about privacy and tracking in an article while doing the same. It’s not even the fact they use cookies at all, I get they might need them for analytics and such. But this site is out of control
Exactly. Just using an adblocker is like tying on a blindfold and claiming that the minefield has no landmines.
Digital self-defense isn’t about ignoring trackers, it’s about evading and disabling them.
Ah, ok, I see.
