      @@Moudifruity Absolutely, I've heard that too. I just wonder because if there are say 5 million people using chinese owned VPN's, what is China going to do with 5 million peoples worth of largely useless information. Someone who uses a free service like that for watching netflix can't be that interesting to track... can they?
      It would also be interesting to know about the free trials and data limited Services by paid VPN's such as Express VPN free trial or windscribe Data limited service (2GB/10GB with email)

    I know this comment is gonna leave a digital footprint, but I have to say. This is the best channel I've ever encountered! As soon as I saw one video I subscribed. And I never subscribe (literally). It's intriguing both the content and the way you deliver it so it's very easy to watch. At the same time it's even more educational than most courses that ask you to pay, and last bloody hours saying the same thing. I hope you make in depth videos behind the theory maybe etc in the future. Thank you and like almost everyone in the comment section say, keep on going because you will become one of the greatest channels on RUclips (And beyond ).

    Do you think that making your fingerprint more generic would be likely to cause any issues with sites that do more advanced device checks for security, such as online banking or online based KYC checks?

  • @Zaptosis
    @Zaptosis 2 года назад

    Is it possible for a browser to have a unified way to get data from the website without exposing any device identifiers? Such as virtualisation, or maybe an interpreter which renders websites with strict rules. The browser pulls the website data to be rendered independently. It would function similar to a PDF to a vector image where it can be scaled to a monitor of any resolution, but everything is handled in an isolated environment.
    With the increase of computational technology I feel like this wouldn't slow down the user experience too much as opposed to trying to do this in 2010 when most people still ran XP.

  • @gumott
    @gumott 2 года назад

    Vey interesting explainer man! Got one question for you tho, I've started testing out the brave browser, which says it has fingerprinting protection and in some tests other than am I unique it does say it randomizes some bits of data of the fingerprint it gives out to websites. However in AmIUnique it says the fingerprint is unique and it reports itself as a chrome browser rather than brave.
    I just want to know, what is your opinion on brave? Is randomizing a fingerprint any good? or is the "blending in the crowd" be as unspecial as possible approach a better solution?
