Done everything, they still track me?

Revival873: > The general consensus is that using Mullvad Browser at its default settings together with a VPN allows users to blend in with the crowd. So the thing is, Mullvad Browser is basically Tor browser, just without the Tor network. It has the same three-setting security slider that divides users into three buckets. I ran some tests in January this year and found that both Tor browser and Mullvad have identical amount of entropy leak in EFF’s panopticlick with each of the settings: Standard: 7.93 bits of identifying information, one in 243.48 browsers has the same fingerprint. Safer: 9.47 bits of identifying information, one in 708.03 browsers has the same fingerprint. Safest: 7.74 bits of identifying information, one in 214.10 browsers has the same fingerprint. The less bits there are, the more you blend in. So the safest leaks the least, probably because there’s so little features it could be used to to identify users. Disabled JS is the biggest reason for that. Standard is the least safe, but it leaks the second least, most likely because it’s the default: there’s more identifying information, but there’s also so many users running the standard setting with very similar hardware etc., that you blend into a bigger crowd of identical users. The mid option is least blending, most probably because if someone cares about the slider, they might care about setting it to max. But there will be reasonable amount of people who want the balanced amount of extra privacy. In some ways, it might be also adding real security against attack code. E.g., the mid setting prevents HTML 5 media from auto-playing which will protect against zero-click attacks through the media library. Some users want that but not JS blocking, and some probably go with the “golden middle way” thinking that, that way, they won’t be in the low-hanging fruit category.
