about:config, dom.battery.enabled = false
Plus ad blocking and "social button" blocking, as a preventive measure for this kind of issue.
The Web is the new Wild West.
- chris0x00 10y agoThanks, came here to say the same thing. This was as surprsing to me as the first time a spammy website started vibrating my phone (dom.vibrator.enabled)
- yAnonymous 10y agoYou are now one of 10 people with that flag disabled. Not sure that makes you less trackable.
- denzil_correa 10y agoThis has always been an interesting question. What is anonymity (less trace-ability) - hiding in the crowd or uniqueness?
- softawre 10y agoWhat is the argument for uniqueness?
- denzil_correa 10y agoExample - Satoshi Nakamoto of Bitcoin fame
- Phlarp 10y agoSatoshi is the exception, not the rule. Becoming famous and staying anonymous are diametrically opposed.
- mikeash 10y agoNot really anonymous. People have a pretty good idea of which bitcoins are his. He just never does anything with them, so that knowledge doesn't serve much of a purpose. It would be sort of like setting your browser's user-agent to a unique identifier that you never change, but then never actually using the browser for anything. It's not the unique ID that hides you, it's the fact that you never use it.
- Aelinsaar 10y agoNot interested. We need something that lets us blend in, not stand out.
