Test your browser on its fingerprint vulnerabilities, run by the EFF.
https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

"Browser fingerprinting” is a method of tracking web browsers by the configuration and settings information they make visible to websites, rather than traditional tracking methods such as IP addresses and unique cookies.
Browser fingerprinting is both difficult to detect and and extremely difficult to thwart."

To give you insights how #JavaScript allows to build a much more unique fingerprint, try the test with JavaScript enabled and disabled.

IMO, it would be too much for a small team that already has a complicated , system, system, system and to maintain :)

‼️ Looks like Google is finally permanently disabling uBlock Origin for Chrome users

If you’re still on Chrome, take a few minutes and switch! @Vivaldi and Firefox are both solid options. The former has a built in ad blocker on all platforms (even iOS and Android!), while the latter still has uBO support everywhere except iOS

awesome!
In the long run it might also make the online transcoding tools with the "Start now" [to download malware]-button obsolete.

Funnily I talked about this [soon solved] problem with my funder @clemensg by phone today.

Just a thought, from a knuckle-dragging biology scientist. TL;DR: I believe there is scope to make the hosting of a peertube instance even more lightweight in the future.

I read some time ago of people using #webAssembly to transcode video in a user's web-browser. https://blog.scottlogic.com/2020/11/23/ffmpeg-webassembly.html

Since then, I believe #WebGPU has done/is doing some clever things to improve the browser's access to the device's GPU.

I have not seen any #peertube capability that offloads video transcoding to the user in this way.

I imagine, though, that this would align well with peertube's agenda of lowering the bar to entry into web-video hosting, so I cannot help but think that this will come in time.

My own interest is seeing a #Piefed (activitypub) instance whose web-pages could #autotranslate posts into the user's own language using the user's own processing power... One day, maybe!

Thank you again for all your hard work; it is an inspiration.

I was on a new podcast called WTF Now. My episode is called How the internet went wrong. Sad title, but you will understand when you listen.

This is really back to my strong belief that we need regulation when it comes to user profiling. IMHO it should just be banned. Have a listen and let me know what you think!

This is our take on Crypto. It has not changed. There is a reason why we have not included Crypto in Vivaldi.

We are very proud of the features we have added, but we also proud of the "features" we have not added.
