Since the browsers are a spyware on their own, especially chrome, this is not really true. And fingerprinting, cdns, etc. doesnt really provide you privacy. And local storage, history, cookies, syncing bookmarks to google etc. doesnt help either. We could argue about ssh / rdp access but browser is surely not a way to go.
- sandworm101 6y agoBut if you use an open browser you have at least a hope of addressing those issues. The app is a black box you just have to trust.
- stiray 6y agoNot really (I am quite proficient at reversing, but this is a special case ;) ). Browser is a huge, unreviewable (well not true but there is not just simple to reverse java code but also arm dissasembly to be done and that part can take forever), black box that you have to trust and as you dont use it for one single task (as for instance mail client - there is exactly one ip address where it needs to connect to in my case - to my mail server - and my mail client is allowed to connect exactly there and nowhere else) you cant "jail" (pun, not as bsd jail) it. And I dont use any google spyware on my android phone, like GMS. This might be of help to you, I have reviewed the code and if you pay a donation directly, it wont do anything fishy (and I am building my own version and diffing every version with my baseline - for 2.266 I can guarantee it is safe): https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard
