 Babba27's Evil Twin [ze/hir|she/her|they/them] (Migrated -> @babba27:anonymousplanet.net) | Every anti-fingerprinting plugin itself affects your fingerprint. The specific details of what anti-fingerprinting plugins you use, and how you have them configured, can actually be a unique fingerprint in itself | 23:48:29 |
| Babba27's Evil Twin [ze/hir|she/her|they/them] (Migrated -> @babba27:anonymousplanet.net) | That's why Tor Browser encourages its users to leave the settings default. Every setting you change, and every plugin you install, gives you a different fingerprint. And in fingerprinting, different = unique | 23:49:55 |
| Babba27's Evil Twin [ze/hir|she/her|they/them] (Migrated -> @babba27:anonymousplanet.net) | And unique = identifiable | 23:50:06 |
| rolodondo34 | si si claro | 23:52:13 |
| rolodondo34 | unique = entropy? | 23:52:23 |
| Babba27's Evil Twin [ze/hir|she/her|they/them] (Migrated -> @babba27:anonymousplanet.net) | Yes. Entropy is the measure of how unique something is | 23:52:52 |
| Babba27's Evil Twin [ze/hir|she/her|they/them] (Migrated -> @babba27:anonymousplanet.net) | In fingerprinting, low entropy = not unique. High entropy = very unique | 23:53:07 |
| Babba27's Evil Twin [ze/hir|she/her|they/them] (Migrated -> @babba27:anonymousplanet.net) | If you're the only person in the world with a specific browser configuration, that makes you very unique. And therefore very fingerprintable | 23:53:53 |
| Babba27's Evil Twin [ze/hir|she/her|they/them] (Migrated -> @babba27:anonymousplanet.net) | You might have a browser configuration which manages to hide every possible fingerprinting data point. But if nobody else does the same, that makes you different | 23:55:46 |
| rolodondo34 | the point of Tor Browser is that users all have the same config no? | 23:58:34 |
| Babba27's Evil Twin [ze/hir|she/her|they/them] (Migrated -> @babba27:anonymousplanet.net) | Yes | 23:58:49 |
| rolodondo34 | ah si | 23:59:52 |
| rolodondo34 | claro | 23:59:55 |

 type-iix | And just like that, this channel is ALIVE! :D | 14:04:04 |
| type-iix | I decided against Qubes since I'm not supervillain, when planning out my online coaching, what I was left with on the whiteboard looked like something out of A Beatiful Mind | 14:06:04 |

| type-iix | But I used Whonix for many years | 14:06:32 |
| type-iix | Qubes is conceptually amazing it's just that I'm not in for spy games thrillers playing out in my imagination | 14:07:20 |
| rolodondo34 | in what context did you use Whonix | 15:38:12 |
 nope (tchncs.de) | In reply to @memorysafetybelike:envs.net
That's why Tor Browser encourages its users to leave the settings default. Every setting you change, and every plugin you install, gives you a different fingerprint. And in fingerprinting, different = unique I believe even Thorin supports both methods of RFP and FPP because you're better off doing that on Firefox, if not just using Tor Browser. | 17:29:09 |
| nope (tchncs.de) | He also explains throughout his entire existence why he's toted of explaining metrics to nonexpert internetizens. | 17:29:41 |

| nope (tchncs.de) | "arkenfox does not support using RFPTargets in an everyday setup" but you can easily get a list of those targets | 17:30:57 |
| rolodondo34 | you missed biometric and captcha based fingerprinting | 19:30:33 |
| rolodondo34 | you can capture biometrics using javascript | 19:30:46 |
| rolodondo34 | is Whonix used by journos? | 19:49:46 |
