Google is allowing its advertising customers to fingerprint website visitors. Can you stop it?

    And there’s things Vanadium/web view offer that Android Firefox never can:

    • https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html

    By default Vanadium’s JIT JavaScript is blocked. Can easily turn off regular JavaScript if ya want on site settings.

      this article does not attempt to compare the privacy practices of each browser but rather their resistance to exploitation.

      The Madaidans article lacks relevance, we are talking about fingerprinting.

      Android Firefox never can

      That’s just not true, many of those are things that Android Firefox likely won’t do, but that doesn’t mean they can’t do it.

      That said, I care more about privacy than theoretical attacks. Companies are tracking me, black hats might attack me.
