To me just posting this long list is spreading FUD.
It mixes voluntary user actions, like submitting forms and “query parameters”, with things like “WebGL fingerprint” which we agree is evil sneaky fingerprinting.
I agree tracking is a serious problem, but this list isn’t contributing to any discussion.
- blitzar 1y agoPeople complain about google logging their search queries when they are in "incognito mode" and logged into their google account - we need a lot more education.
- johnisgood 1y agoWhat I would like is effective solutions against most fingerprinting.
- fsflover 1y agoTor Browser?
- johnisgood 1y agoBesides that? I want more (if they exist). :P
- fsflover 1y agoWhonix (which still relies on Tor Browser).
- sfebreiro 1y agoTails and Qube OS, for example

- omeid2 1y agoQuery parameters are hardly voluntary, just about every linked acquired via "share" button on various platform includes tracking query parameters, including google search results. Combined with the fact that query parameters are has legitimate uses, the distinction complexity becomes indistinguishable from "legitimate WebGL usage" vs "WebGL fingerprint". It is scary where we are, but you can't solve it by dismissing it as FUD.
