Fingerprinting is a new way of tracking you across websites.
It's being done right now by companies like Google.
Because unlike cookie based tracking you can't defeat it just by disabling cookies.
There is currently NO FOOLPROOF DEFENCE against fingerprinting (except quitting the Internet).
Google's privacy policy states
>Other technologies are used for similar purposes as a cookie on other platforms where cookies are not available or applicable
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/key-terms/#toc-terms-cookie
ReCAPTCHA probably contains fingerprinting code:

This means that the majority of 4chan users could be being fingerprinted, and Google might know about your shitposting habits even if cookies are disabled.
Google releases limited hangout of how much they know about you:

>Oh, they're just remembering what YouTube videos I watched, nothing creepy about that, I already knew they were doing it!
>I guess all those people who fear tracking really are just conspiracy theorists!
Daily reminder to do all your Amazon / eBay / LinkedIn / botnet shit in a completely separate browser to your Googling or buying shit.
It's currently the ONLY way to truly defend against fingerprint tracking.
Double points if you have each browser running in a different VM with a different OS.
Triple points if you have each browser's VM configured with a different VPN connection.

Thanks for making these threads, my CPU is sitting at a nice 54 C idle right now with 2 VMs open.
>>55515812
Awesome.
It's good to see people are doing something about this
What's the best VM software to use?
VirtualBox is incompatible with my computer's kernel version for some reason.
>>55516138
The problem with your kernel version may be due to your processor not having virtualization extensions. Either Xen or KVM might work, one of the two supports processors without virtualization extensions but I don't remember which and both are FOSS. What processor do you have?

Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4170 CPU @ 3.70GHz
Just learned about a fingerprint spoofing browser extension FP-Block
http://satoss.uni.lu/software/fp-block/
Going to skim the paper about it to see if it's worthwhile
>>55516430
Welp.
Installed it and the second website I visited crashed the browser every time I tried to visit it.
Unstable as fuck.

Maybe I should consider finally upgrading my computer.
>a whole general dedicated to not letting google tailor its penis pills ad to my racist comments on 4chan
hm

If you'd have no issue with letting everybody, including potential employers, know about your racist posting habits then you're a lucky person.

my employer doesn't have access to the information on my google account that is collected for targetted advertising. does your?
you privacy fags talk about google as if it, your employer, the government, microsoft, canonical and even fucking game freak since pokemon go geolocates its users were one big unit which i want to refer to, comically, as "the man".
You are not a special snowflake being scrutinized by humans who are after your secrets.
You are a product being analyzed by computers who are after pitches to sell you.
That you want to avoid that is perfectly legitimate but let's keep the suspicion to that and stop making up bullshit to scare people into going along with you.

Until google decides to make money selling Internet history background checks.
And you obviously don't have a clue what you're talking about because you don't seem to realise companies work together and share information
>>55517448
>my employer doesn't have access to the information on my google account that is collected for targetted advertising. does your?
Who's to say that information won't become available to companies that do background checks for employers further down the line. As an example of what's already happening, Riot Games (known for League of Legends) pulls up the chat logs in their games for new hires to check for things like that.

Not to mention companies that demand your facebook password as a condition of hiring.
If google will sell your data to counterfeit viagra sellers then why wouldn't they sell it to a respectable employer?
>>55517593
What companies demand your Facebook password?

This is fucking disgusting. It's like demanding to visit someone's home and go through their file cabinet before hiring them. And there are still free-market zealots to oppose laws against this kind of bullshit? Jesus christ I hate this world. Employers are such self-entitled cunts.

It's a year old toy extension used as a proof of concept. You could always debug it yourself.
