@petersuber i am pretty sure, that the "incognito" part references what people can see, when they access your browser, not what servers see...

@petersuber There is a good video on YouTube where a fellow used Wireshark to accomplish the same thing: Seeing what all is sent off to the Mothership, and the results were disturbing to say the least, because just about everybody, even the ones like Brave and Firefox, that claim to protect your privacy, were all sending info about you off to the mothership. It's worth watching.

@petersuber wow. Using a degoogled phone tried with iode browser and brave. Using my normal VPN it got my location correct as well as everything else being correct or real close.
Switched to tor and it got location from there, but the timezone was still correct so kinda pointless.
Kinda crazy using a degoogled phone, privacy browser, VPN, never logged into any type of big tech and it still shows enough info to track you across the web easily.

@petersuber "You prefer light interfaces — your operating system told us."

The website is in dark mode. To scan for this and refuse to comply is the most evil thing on this page.

@petersuber I was encouraged by how much it got wrong.

@petersuber Peter, it is shocking. Sadly I did not find any information on that page on how to prevent that. IP is clear, I could use a VPN, but e.g. the gyroscope? I did not even know it reports without my knowledge.

@petersuber quien maneja esa web? Igual os están sacando datos , vosotres sabréis

@petersuber Thanks! Added this to the link collection here: https://manzokuan.blogspot.com/p/information-for-future-envirohealers.html

@petersuber ??? Browsing with Vivaldi is Chrome????

@petersuber Das ist noch nicht mal viel, was dort asugewertet wird, aber das ist lowest level. Browser fingerprinting bringt viel mehr um den Nutzer wiederzuerkennen. Ad-Netzwerken sei dank. Du weißt nicht, ob der Benutzer genau derjenige ist, der gerade wiederkehrt, aber wenn Du dir anschaust, welcher Nutzer aus welcher Gegend noch Bildschirmgröße xyz mit Betriebssystem W und Brower J benutzt, dann wird die Wahrscheinlichkeit um so größer, dass du den User re-identifizieren kannst.

@petersuber Nothing new, only a page that tries to scare people.
sinceyouarrived.world/taken claims to expose browser tracking – but pulls the very trick it accuses: framing mechanics as betrayal.
"Your device volunteered…" = HTTP headers.
"Battery API hidden from you" = Firefox removed it to protect you.
"Browser masked your GPU" = that IS anti-fingerprinting.
Protection reframed as suspicion, protocol as confession, capability as act. Outrage as aesthetic, not awareness.

@petersuber Is there any way to block or fudge that info?

@petersuber @blogdiva The @eff also has https://coveryourtracks.eff.org, which seems less fearmongering and more focused on how to resolve your gaps.
