I am not a expert, but I assume that this is a clear technical question and experts should be able to tell the difference of both approaches's impact on user identification. This is about technical facts not opinions. That a user across weeks of different browsing sessions is the same In making it more difficult to track/pinpoint (randomize vs generalize fingerprints) is technically more effective Question can you please explain: Which of those two methods
The randomized end points give you unlinkability across sessions for (for any fingerprinter who consumes a randomized endpoint)"
"We're adding subtle, non-human perceivable noise to the JS readable outputs of the audio, canvas and WebGL APIs. While Brave tries to randomize all fingerprints of each and every user in a unique way (for each new opened session).Ī short quote from Brave to get the context (as you are all Tor experts, I am not quoting Tor). It can even help you get online in countries where the internet is blocked or censored.TOR's method to countering fingerprinting is to make as many users "appear the same" as possible, let us call this to "generalize". In other words, private browsing mode is the default.īecause of the extra encryption and anonymity measures, Tor Browser can run slightly slower than other browsers, but in terms of staying invisible on the web, it's the best there is. It also blocks fingerprinting, a method where advertisers attempt to recognize the unique characteristics of your device across multiple sites, even if they can't tell exactly who you are.Īt the end of each browsing session, everything gets wiped, including cookies left behind by sites and the browsing history inside the Tor Browser app itself. The Tor Project routes your web navigation through a complex, encrypted network of relays managed by its community, making it much harder for anyone else to work out where you're going on the web.Īs well as this additional layer of anonymity, Tor Browser is super-strict on the sort of background scripts and tracking technologies sites are allowed to run. The browser app for Android, Windows and macOS is actually part of a bigger project to keep internet browsing anonymous.
