A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

Isn’t it pointless to change all device screens from their constant size of 1,080 to a reported size of 1,080 - 48 or (whatever x,xxx - 48)?
Why not report x,xxx as random # ? Or does that start to identify more than make one blend in?
The more unique it is, the more easy to find you. That's why anti-fingerprinting is a problem because removing tracking makes you more unique compared to millions of devices with the same data tracked.
That would make you more fingerprint able. The idea is to make more computers look the same, not make you unique.
They're saying that they don't tell the site the size of the browser window, but the screen size minus a reasonable margin for the toolbar and stuff
