- ThePowerOfFuet 8mo agoChrome may well have access to persistent identifiers on Android, but websites do not. The search engine has nothing to do with it.
- alek-cape 8mo agoI thought access to IMEI and IMSI was pretty heavily restricted starting with Android 10. Graphene [1] makes a few extra restrictions beyond AOSP [2], but it's been around for a while now. To get access to IMEI and IMSI, you need to either be a carrier app, allowlisted, or grant the `READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE` permission. Unless Chrome is running at a system level in AOSP or some OEM specific firmware, I wouldn't expect it to have `READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE` [1] - https://grapheneos.org/faq#hardware-identifiers https://grapheneos.org/faq#hardware-identifiers [2] - https://source.android.com/docs/core/connect/device-identifiers https://source.android.com/docs/core/connect/device-identifi...
