Fingerprinting is a very difficult topic. A lot on how their algorithms and tech actually works is obfuscated and hidden from the people’s eye. I will be totally honest with you, I don’t think changing ur timezone will gian you much benefit, it might even make you stick out more since it doesn’t correlate with other information like your IP address, preferred language, etc.

There has been a browser extension that set ur browser values to match the IP address region, but it’s now history sadly.

Overall, I think if cchanging your timezone will benefit or harm you, comes down to very specific adversaries.

You seem to be unable to understand simple English, so I’ll end the conversation here.

This pretty much not adressing what I said at all. I use LineageOS myself and it’s miles better than the Stock Operating Systems of most if not all devices they support. But we shouldn’t mislead people, LineageOS is not fully “degoogled” and uses some Google services, even without the Google Play Services installed.

LineageOS is not “Google-free”. The OS still connects to various Google services by default, even without Google Play Services installed.

To be fair, Discord has e2e encrypted voice calls using their “Dave” protocol.

So you avoid my question, together enough reason to block you.

What exactly do you call “doxxing” here?

Less then two months according to the blog.

Very interesting; I will verify the integrity of what you said and may spread the word.

Saily is by Nord Security, also the company behind NordVPN

Not a good idea. The value changes rapidly.

True, I just thought it might be more useful to OP than just the PDF + all other audits are listed too.

My point is that sharing an article by an irrelevant third party spreading misinformation due commercial interest is not a good pratice.

Share the audit then, not the tomsguide article.

Oh I’m aware of this, their is no way around this without revealing personal data :(

I think Tor with Tor Bridges (to obscure that you use Tor) is your best bet. Or using Tor over a VPN (using a VPN systemwide and then connect to Tor)

Everything else is just standard opsec, not leaking personal information and so on

Also, don’t use a E-Mail address or phone number tied to your real information, like your name or IP address. Because that is how many people got caught in the past.

You can’t use social media anonymously, it will all be pseudonymous aslong as you engage, if you consume social media passively, you can. But their have been reports that passive social media consumption is tied to negative mental health.

The article is not very trustworthy, promoting VPN they have financial partnerships and calling them “best”

Security and data protection wise is GrapheneOS very superior to e/OS/, but it has the tradeoff that it doesn’t support MicroG which is less worse reimplementation of Google Play Services, while GrapheneOS only sandbox them and removes the priveleged access.

Google Captcha walled, amazing. /s

Glad to see most Germans are against.
