@Migueldeicaza
Well done on the part of this old version of #Fedilab's built in browser for spoofing half the results to obscure my identity! I wish it blocked the power API though...
It will never know that I did not click the link.
@Migueldeicaza @bartt Yeah right. We already knew this for ages. And region lookup based on IP. We can do that at least for 40 years. So. What's so scary?
@Migueldeicaza @bartt I'm going to ignore this.
@Migueldeicaza dark grey text on a black background is hard to read on a small screen. Reader mode is not available for the site.
@Migueldeicaza this is a cool page, but it’s also run by a grifty AI thing
Fun stuff, it says I am in Lepzig, but opened the page from another far away city.
Says I have a very modern extremely high resolution screen, that is spoofed and changes quite often.
Browser Firefox, well it is broadly based on it.
Languages in the browser, it got those right.
Fonts, told me I am unique, except it was spoofed too.
For those using plain firefox or chrome, chromium the results will be way more interesting.
For Tor it gets stuck enumerating the browser.
@Migueldeicaza happy to see almost all the data are completely wrong. Using Firefox with privacy plugins pays off.
@Migueldeicaza this is cool but at this point I can practically smell LLM-coded websites. They all look the same. This one feels LLM-written as well.
@nev oh bummer I will try to do better and deliver content that is more suitable for your needs. Thanks for letting me know, I will try to adjust my posts to meet your expectations in the future.
I apologize profusely for not meeting the moment.
It's location was 5000miles off. It's time said afternoon when it's morning. Makes me think tor does a pretty good job.
@Migueldeicaza ehh, a lot of scare tactic language, and not a lot of actual explanations of the potential danger.
like, the "what renders your world" tells me nothing about how this information can actually be weaponized in any way.
or how it can tell what fonts i have. So? it gives no explanation for why this is dangerous (if it even is)

@Migueldeicaza tried it with tor browser. It does not know about gyro or so..
@Migueldeicaza Is there a way to prevent this?
@Migueldeicaza it did not identify my browser correctly
@Migueldeicaza AI slop site just learned what basic fingerprinting is
@Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social
Vivaldi was found wanting.
Firefox was quite a bit better.
Firefox Focus was basically the same.
Surprisingly Cromite was the best overall.
All, for whatever reason, reported the exact gyroscope position.
My question is why the fuck do browsers even report this data
