Great idea: A web page that simply shows you the info your browser shares about you and your system whenever you open a web page.

@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 Hmm, “Your browser is Chrome.” Sorry, Chrome-based. Which is true for about 90+% of users not on Rotten Fruit™️ devices.
Interestingly, my box will be almost perfectly fingerprintable via the iGPU and 4K touchscreen, sigh, back to LibreWolf for my private surfing, I wonder. Sigh.
@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.

@petersuber
Well, got blocked by Vercel (Error 99)...
If I can't reach the website, it won't get Ingo from me. 
@petersuber the EFF already made this years ago, with more features and much more usable, and also not made by some weird LLM company: https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/
@petersuber
Indeed scary shit, that shows the everyday surveillance of the modern smartphone society got used to accepting as given without questioning it.
We're not on a way into a dystopia, already living it.
Even when I tried this Website with Firefox and strongly restricted rules, there was some leakage of data.
Vivaldi & Brave Browser wasn't much better.
I wonder how a Browser on GrapheneOS would handle this website? 🤔😉
@petersuber it got a bunch wrong about me
Browser, OS, ISP, battery. All wrong.
@petersuber Very interesting! Great share.
@petersuber I love these kind of things to use in seminars, it helps to easily illustrate data collection that otherwise stays invisible.
