To me your comment you just made lacks granularity a lot. When a setting does not make you completly private but still increases the workload to identify you, this is a success.

No matter how good the security and privacy of an entity is. There is always a way to get through. The question is only if your wall is high enough, so the threat actor is not willing to invest the effort needed.

So when FBI says, thay can still identify you even through VPN and JS disabled, does not mean those two actions are useless.

Probably no single decision will be the key to all security and privacy threats. But as more precautions one uses, as higher is the investment to still identify you.

I only want to say, that in reality privacy and security are scales. It is not at all a on and off switch.

Look man, I’m sorry I was rude to you. I don’t disagree with what you wrote here. However, what I’m disputing is that Mullvad Browser with just a regular VPN is a good daily driver. And I kinda view your comments are malicious, even though that is not your intent. I understand you’re just commenting quickly and whatever, but we’re rolling out high value stuff, and it’s sort of mean-spirited to be plugging a WORSE thing.

My earlier point is that using a single IP definitely gets people correlated, and managing which IP goes to which browser and service is not realistic for 99% of people without HydraVeil. So yes, you can pull the “who cares about privacy” routine. Yes you can pull the “don’t use websites with javascript” routine. But at the end of the day, a lot of people need to use these services to function in the real world. And so pushing the government’s browser as the only solution is malicious in my eyes.

Again, I know you don’t view it that way, but I think if you read more of our articles you would. Keep in mind, a lot of us code, write, promote, for barely any money to help people. I mean, do you really want to be hazing to suppress development?

You are really projecting a lot on me. To disable Javascript is a technical improvement on every existing privacy setup. It is clear, that everyone will use websites that only work with JS. So turn them on then. Still better than turning on all Javascript by default.

One can do this kind of conveniently through uBlock Origin plugin or noScript. UBlock works best on Firefox Browser.

Probably a very well documented privacy resource is privacyguides.org

And believe me I am almost reading and listening to privacy best practices and hacker news on a daily basis.

Come up with improvements on my solutions or point out flaws I have. It is very unprofessional how you try to blame me, without critizising my arguments. This is far from fair and malicious.

To which Browser you point when saying "government Browser"?

Hey I think you don't understand the basics. privacyguides sucks, they don't understand the problems and were on cloudflare before instead of preaching against it.

unblock origin is dns blocking specific sites, not the overall fingerprinting, which you can't block CF.

Mullvad browser is Tor, which is government made. They are happy it doesn’t work and blocks people out from the internet unless they do unprivate stuff.

I would consider your line of banter malicious, and all the answers to your questions are on our site. I'm unable to offer more free support for your malicious propaganda, so this will be the last reply.

Sorry just checked out your website. And I see really no good reason to trust this product. Most participants are podcasters, costumer service and so. One security engineer.

There is a clear lack of trust from my side. nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vghszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgewaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8xmn0wf6zuum0vd5kzmp0qqspue77xa2pwyr3608ek39ku4rtm98apgk2876dhwcmq4rgtjg3deqfd92pn did you really go through the project or only published the link after a short read?

To me this seems just not trustworthy enough. No professional articles. LAck of technical descriptions and lack of technickal employees with a knowledgable record.
