    Certainly,this is evolution. But everything new is rooted in the old. And I bet it will have limited impact as you have already predicted as well. Everyone who studies and/or deals with fingerprinting sooner or later comes to the same conclusion. It attracts a lot,but it has limited impact.

    Audio-Fingerprint is nothing new. When I was still teaching we carried out a study in collaboration with other European universities. The few websites that used this form of fingerprinting, naturally in combination with other techniques, have decreased this form of fingerprinting over time. I still have the test website which is obviously no longer updated and therefore reports an error, but it works: https://audiofingerprint.openwpm.com/

    An ironic footnote to the title is therefore in order. My interest in the thread is concluded. Thank you very much and have a good evening.

    All very interesting. Also the monetary policy. But is it possible to know whether or not this request will be evaluated?

    I support your proposal. I certainly do not belong to the "like" generation. And I have just returned from my 15-day vacation in Sharm,so I love the outdoors,the sea,walks......

    It would be helpful for all "honest" members of the forum. And it would also be helpful to dispel the growing suspicions that there are members who have multiple accounts.

    Hi, you can open an issue in Github: https://github.com/d3ward/toolz/issues

    Hi, the latest release of Speedometer is 3.0: https://speedometer-preview.netlify.app/

    I have also been on vacation,I returned on Tuesday. Yes everything OK,I hope for you too. The score also depends on the filter lists used.

    https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html What is the score of MSFN members with their adblocker? In addition to the score, it would be interesting to mention the number of network filters and cosmetic filters.
  11. Sampei.Nihira
    Why not use the updated test link? https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html Remember that the test only provides an indication of the performance of your Adblocker.
  12. Sampei.Nihira
    Although Gorhill does not believe that a large number of filters is limiting it is good to consider that in old hardware this impact is significant. For MSFN members who have these problems,one solution might be to limit the network filter rules in UBO and move some filter lists you cannot give up to the DNS level. AdGuard DNS,Next DNS,might be right for you.

    Interesting work,I had never read it. Consider, however, that theoretically Shors' algorithm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor's_algorithm might be able,using a Quantum Computer (such as Google's) to break the 25519 elliptic key implemented in TLS 1.3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve25519 Although my personal motivation related to confidentiality seems excessive,in my browser I use a Post Quantum Secure Key. It is also possible to verify the key used at the BrowserLeaks website. But an easier test is also available.

    With the link you have the possibility to choose a website with many trackers suitable for your OS. But I understand that it is not of your interest. Have a nice day. Example in the image below:

    @AstroSkipper If you want to check the performance of UBO Legacy it may be a good idea to check the blocks obtained against UBO on a website with many trackers: https://whotracks.me/ I believe that it will not be easy to achieve a reliable result.

    In my post I didn't write how to block third-party cookies. I wrote that I blocked that flag (therefore that feature that I don't like being enabled without my consent) which is already disabled by default.
  19. Sampei.Nihira
    The developers now call it 3PCD. In Edge the flag is this: Test Third Party Cookie Phaseout I blocked*** it even though by default it is disabled..... ***= I guess you know how to do that.....
  20. Sampei.Nihira
    Hi to all. There is no reason to keep third-party cookies enabled. But there is also this possibility: https://www.ghacks.net/2024/01/05/how-to-enable-chromes-tracking-protection-right-now/

    With Windows we have lost the power of the scribes of ancient Egypt. Without the movie I would probably have been a lousy doctor or a bored banker. Maybe I would have had more fun.

    @XPerceniol This: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarGames was the film that determined my work. I was 20 years old. Windows 95 was probably Microsoft's first Operating System that brought home users closer to computers. It was simple and intuitive. But with MS-DOS we were like modern scribes.
  23. Sampei.Nihira
    @UCyborg Interesting. Can you show me an image with these ads? Thank you very much and Happy New Year.
  24. Sampei.Nihira
    @XPerceniol Indeed. A proper testing methodology would be to check Tor's "trust score" and then check your browser. If your browser is close to Tor's score, it is better.

    @dmiranda Hi,a few years ago,we studied the fingerprinting of many websites. Usually most websites use few fingeprinting techniques. And almost all of them for one purpose,the commercial purpose. Instead in my opinion,the most dangerous fingerprinting is the one related to security. There is an abysmal difference with websites where you can perform these tests. If you want to "go crazy" I will provide you with a testing website used by Brave engineers. According to them the best fingerprinting website. Although I believe that the website does not provide an important benchmark,thus a correct conclusion. It is the trust score. According to Brave engineers it would be best with a percentage equal to 0. This, on the other hand, is Abrahamjuliot's somewhat equivocal opinion: https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/
