Finally we might say goodbye to terrorism and pedophiles.
Godspede.
>>43165380
>There’s currently no tool that will offer a hassle-free way of blocking canvas fingerprinting, but Gizmodo offers various ways of trying to fight it. Users can either use Tor, install a NoScript Firefox extension, download and use the Chameleon browser or blocking JavaScript from a browser altogether, but either choice may also offer a worse Internet browsing experience.
is there really anyone on this board that doesn't already have the addthis JS blocked in NoScript?
this is old news
and javascript is easy to block
>>43165380
>In a follow-up comment, a YouPorn representative said the company was not aware of the tracking feature
In what universe is installing NoScript considered 'virtually impossible'?
If you browse with JS enabled on every website, then canvas fingerprinting should be your least worry as you open yourself to dozens of other tracking methods.
>having actual privacy
>on the internet
Best you can do is block advertisers from tracking you across the web.
to the people say no script
how do u know if the main website is even safe to let safe in the whitelist?
exactly
>>43165411
Morons. People who can't be arsed to be selective with scripts.
People who listen to other retard shills that say "IT BREAK INTERNET"
>>43165470
how do you know you don't have cancer right now?
exactly
im seriously considering using tor but is it LEGAL to use tor? how do i know i wont be caught up in some cp raid by accident?
>>43165470
You don't. But often you don't need to enable any scripts on a website. Only the shitty ones need script for basic functionality.
>>43165496
just use tails if you want to browse with relative "safety"
but you will probably be profiled as a pedo or a terrorist either way at some point
Install NoScript and RequestPolicy, 100% blocked canvas fingerprints and other tracking scripts.
>>43165496
if you don't run a tor node there is absolutely nothing wrong with using tor
>>43165496
It's perfectly legal to use Tor
Least in most countries. Iran, china, I don't think it's legal.
>>43165478
>>43165411
You would be surpised, every now and then when people post browsers or screencaps, you see that they have things like steam, skype, facebook unironically open, amongst other things
also, there are even gems who come here who have no extensions whatsoever besides the unethical adblock plus
>>43165571
How is adblock unethical but noscript or requestpolicy isn't?
>>43165592
Well, I suppose I can't say unethical, I'm just autistic about what I use
>download adblock Plus
>has some ads allowed by default
I didn't want them to begin with.
Now, in regards to noscript, I guess you could consider that "unethicaL" given italian man's past jew-tactics,
as for request policy, I don't see anything wrong with it
Who cares? Unless you are engaging in illegal activity there is nothing to worry about. And if you are engaging in illegal activity and are dumb enough not to disable Javascript then you deserve everything you get.
Not sure how Tor Browser does it, but it blocks canvas by default without forcing JS abstinence.
I can also imagine making a user script that replaces the getContext method for all canvas objects with an empty implementation. The media is creating drama where none is.
>>43165630
ayy lmao
>>43165630
moot might use it to ban peeps

thanks it's probably because i'm talking about cancer, the devil's candy
>>43165665
I wouldn't, Youtube's HTML5 is slow enough already (they hate html5, but wanted to punish apple) on top of Tor's limited bandwidth? Honestly you're better off not. When you get on Tor these days its close to like...... ISDN or early DSL speeds. It used to be dialup, but has greatly improved.
>>43165407
...and racists and nazists and communists and anarchists and enemies of the state and conservatives and political dissenters and those that criticize the plans of our great leader.
The world will be so harmonious. Thanks, Obama.
why would a dating website need to use this ? plenty of fish
i blame firefox and chrome and the browser makers. they're the ones responsible they kept saynig WE NEED NEWFEATURES HTML5 NEWN NEW ADD THIS ADD THAT and look what happened?
Just disable canvas. Easy.
>>43165539
You mean if you don't run a tor EXIT node. Running a tor node is completely safe unless you live in a shithole like the UK that bans encryption.
>>43165757
yeah sorry a word got cut off there

MOOT WAS TRYING TO WARN US THAT'S WHY HE MADE THAT SITE HE KNEW
HE KNEWWWWW CONSPIRACY
REMEMBER WHEN HE STARTED THAT CANVAS WEBSITE? THAT WAS THE HINT
HE WAS TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING
canvas fingerprinting HAS THE SAME NAME!!!

>>43165478
>Visit website for the first time
>Spend a good 5 minutes adding exceptions to NoScript to make the site work properly.
Pretty sure anyone who actually has a life and has work to do won't have that kind of time. You just can't relate since you're all NEETs.
>>43165823
Nah man, it's like.... 30 seconds tops. In 60 seconds I can hide elements I just plain don't want to look at.
>Wiki begging
>Login and navigation headers to a site I will never log into or manually navigate
>lol popup gating, for reals
And after that 60 seconds I enjoy the site to the extent I feel comfortable allowing its shit to run.
If it's a worthy site, it gets whitelisted and thus never has to be dealt with again. It's fine if you don't want to take those 30 seconds to make sites work, but don't go making excuses and exagerrating cause you're lazy. Own up to your laziness like a man.

>nothing to fear nothing to hide fags
I just want to cave in each and every one of your ridiculously thick skulls
most of these are used by porn sites i think they're used to catch polticians and or goverment officals porn habits so they can be black mailed
so i can switch out adblock and ghostery for noscript/requestpolicy?
tbh i'd never heard of noscript before
>>43166047
u'll get arrested ;w;!!
>>43166086
but noscript is tampered to opt-out its own ads. i hate hypocrites.
>>43166151
so then what should i use?
>>43166169
noscript and request policy together
or just request policy
or just go outside
As Gizmodo noted, “You can use the Tor network to go online anonymously and avoid all sorts of tracking,” but Delisle said that isn’t enough: The real solution is disabling the JavaScript altogether.
>>43165380
Give it 5 minutes and someone will create a new chrome extension to block it. And I'll be the first to use it
>>43166151
Really? Got a source or something?
TOR comes with scripts allowed globally to begin with which is kind of annoying. Fucking JS is a shit.

>???
>profit
So, will NoScript be enough to block this shit?
>>43166909
Yes, it is reliant on javascript. Will you USE noscript to block this shit? Probably not.
Don't worry though, eventually a noscript version will come out with that specific element banned by default so you can leave your scripts enabled globally on and rape your privacy some more.
>>43165380
>Yahoo clickbait
>>43166909
Yes. It's just another way to fingerprint your browser with JavaScript. I don't know why the media are so hyped on this, since panopticlick already shows that JavaScript reveals several bits of information to track people by. The canvas thing adds a couple more based on your GPU vendor and maybe your Cleartype settings if you've changed them from the defaults.
is there a plugin/addon that replies with a blank response like tor?
>>43165630
if i have nothing to hide then why are they looking?
Why aren't they spending that time tracking a pedophile, terrorist or 'hacker'?
>>43165757
>bans encryption
Please explain.
Yours,
Concerned British Citizen
>>43165757
>like the UK that bans encryption.
Fucking bongs man
>>43165380
And they said requestpolicy was useless
Finally, my crippling paranoia paid off.
>>43167283
Well... it kind of is? I mean yeah it will stop every server ever from requesting that from you, but noscript would also do that if they're not a whitelisted 2nd+ party
>>43165380
>canvas fingerprinting
stopped reading there.
this is easy as fuck to block
>>43167308
enlighten the pleb, then
>>43165380
yes, it can be stopped, TOR already does. stop getting facts from dumb publications.
>>43167134
It's exaggeration. There's a law that says you are forced to reveal encryption passwords when demanded by law enforcement.
It's a criminal offense to withhold encrypted data from law enforcement.
Which effectively makes encryption illegal, but saying that isn't very accurate.
Personally I think it's stupid. Paedophiles who refuse to cough up codes stay off the sex offender registry, and don't go to prison for anywhere near as long, and don't have their name mixed with the word paedophile.
Terrorists also just take a few years in jail instead of giving up their plans or whatever.
It's stupid. Either put life imprisonment for withholding encrypted data or have no imprisonment at all.
>>43167334
1. Use noscript
and you're done
Alternatively, do a Tor browser bundle and just disallow the execution of the relevant JS code that hashes images
>>43167305
RequestPolicy prevents from other kinds of tracking as well.
>if they're not a whitelisted 2nd+ party
And also in that case.
>not already using tor
> not already protected
> op is chrome bot net fag
>>43165380
>impossible to block
sigh.
block javascript and/or
block xmlhttprequests and/or
block sleazy domains (addthis.com etc)

>>43167461
>use tor
>can't post on 4chan
Useless browser
>>43167467
I can't begin to tell you how proud my neckbeard feels right now for never allowing addthis.com in my NoScript or RequestPolicy because it sounded retarded and/or sketchy.
>>43165411
>There’s currently no tool

this
>>43167473
you --> tor --> vpn
you're welcome.
>>43167362
>What is plausible deniability
And a Tor node that doesn't delete its logs and keys constantly is kinda shit, they can't force you to surrender keys you no longer have.
Tor -> VPN masterrace checking in
What if this shit is built into all the javascript we unblock all the time. Like the bullshit we put up with just to be able to post on this freedom hating website (4chan) ?
>>43167639
God moot is such a fucking faggot
>>43167611
tor nodes don't store anything like that anyway unless you somehow write scripts and shit to do it manually..

Yes, very bad. The higher the number the easier it is to pin point your browser
>>43168765
I'd spoof my user agent, but I want to rep GNU/Linux on site statistics. The only other things were HTTP_ACCEPT Headers and cookies.
I have no idea about HTTP_ACCEPT Headers and I don't want to block all cookies (or do I?).
>>43165447
plus things like hidden iframes and the like for malware delivery.
if you're not running requestpolicy, noscript and any cookie whitelist with auto destructible temporary cookies if you so wish, as well as LSO nuker by now, then this new tracking method is the least of your worries
If you are, then congrats, you already have it blocked
