wouldn't it be cool if each post displayed the information from which operating system and browser it was posted from?
it would be like /int/'s country flags, but /g/ related
something like
2ch dot hk/s
It is entirely possible, although some people wouldn't like it and others would fork Firefox with joke names, were you ever torrenting something and a really wird client came up in your peer's list? That's it.
What is 2ch's dot hk/s?
>>54751846
>2ch's dot hk/s
2ch.hk is a Russian imageboard and /s/ is the software board
sure
i guess
whatever
>>54751846
You don't even need to fork the browser for that. Even Internet Explorer supports custom user agent string in developer options.
>>54751746
Nah, tripfaggots is the most cancer this board can handle, having users posting with fake useragent strings will just incite more flamewars and fanboy threads
>there are people on /g/ RIGHT NOW who don't randomize their UA
>>54752721
>Randomizing
>Not using the most common one
Looks like you don't care about privacy at all.

>>54751746
every thread would be derailed to become about OS. Every insult would be about each user's OS. Just like /int/-cancer.

>>54752824
The fact that you actually posted that link think it's provides for a good refutation or is even relevant tells me exactly how retarded you are.
>>54752861
The fact that you actually posted just ad hominem instead of providing a counter argument or any sort of proof tells me exactly how retarded you are.
>>54752721
>>54752772
You realize that by randomizing your user agent you make your fingerprint more unique thus easier to track?
>>54752895
Holy shit if you don't know how any of this works you need to shut the fuck up and stop embarrassing yourself.
>>54752892
>ad hominem
Are you just spewing terms while having no idea what they really mean now?
>>54752944

Oh the fucking irony
>>54752944
He is right tho
>>54752973
>>54752996
You clearly have no idea how UAs actually work. It's like you read EFF's stupid web test for 10 seconds and think you can into computers now. Lurk more on /g/ and stop shitposting. And samefagging.
>>54751746
I support this. /v/ and shills need to be exposed.
>there are people who don't want privacy and think its cool to not have privacy
famlangs should kill themselves, just saiyan
>>54753007
This is your third post without any sort of proof or explanation about how you're right, instead, you have just insulted and telling others that they are wrong.
GG egocentric elitist anon.

>This is your third post without any sort of proof or explanation about how you're right
Nice try (and right back at you), but I'm not going to spoonfeed you. Next time think a little before you make a statement as retarded as "randomizing your user agent you make your fingerprint more unique thus easier to track" please.
>>54753107
but he's right, the best strategy is to use a list of the common user agents and randomising which one shows, if you straight up have a random string as your user agent you're standing out of the crowd.
>>54753107
>not hiding in plainsight
jesus dude
>>54751746
It would be funny for a while but people will get tired of the thread derail
>>54753140
>the best strategy is to use a list of the common user agents
But that's literally exactly what I do. Take the top 1/4 of the list of UAs from the page given in umatrix and pick a random one every 5 minutes. What did you think, I make my random strings "i luv cheezeburger lul" and "dick nipples :--DDD" or something?
>>54753195
read your goddamn sentence then, you fucking fig newton.
If you don't specify it does sound like you literally use a random string.
nice double post to you retard.
>>54753223
You know, sometimes it pays to have a bit of goddamned common sense. When I use the term UA I do in fact mean actual valid user agents.
>>54751746
I would like it. It would weed out a lot of shitposters, underage kids from /v/, shills and retards.
I like it, hiroshima nagasaki likes to try new shit
>>54753207

2 good boy points for not using "who are you quoting". Good job.
>>54753469
You can stop renewing IPs faggot
>>54753107
Are you retarded or something? it's like the second question in Tor FAQs and even the Tor project team says that using a common useragent is safer than an unique randomized one. Seriously, are you low-functioning autistic or just a NSA shill?

No but you might be considering you can't even finish reading this thread

>wouldn't it be cool if each post displayed the os and browser it was posted from?
It would be cool because then we could filter posts based on these criteria.
We'd also know once and for all who's doing all the os/browser related shitposting.
