Been wondering how they detect how many videos you've watched without being logged in.

Cookies can be cleared, IPs can be changed, and if we all use something like the Mullvad Browser fingerprinting will be far more difficult.

So at the current moment, is there a way to use TOR browser and route it through Mullvad since TOR Browser would most likely be more anonymous having a larger, more common fingerprint?

Do you mean Mullvad VPN or the browser?

[-] Miyagi1337@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Sorry, I meant TOR Browser, as using TOR Browser + Mullvad VPN and default Mullvad DNS with exit and entry nodes in two different countries and cities + anti quantum computer algorithm to prevent MITM and other attacks alongside obfuscation alongside the Wireguard (IPV6 if you can, not every one can) has to be about the most secure setup I can conceive of possibly (only using TAILS could possibly further protect you). Probably overkill, but I like optimizing for the future when attacks become more prevalent in cyber security.

I recommend every one tries Mullvad Browser, but i don't think it's the best idea for me and so I went back to TOR Browser.

I was able to get Mullvad and TOR to play nicely together, I couldn't at first until a reboot I hadn't noticed I had forgotten to reboot at the time.

Are you routing your Mullvad Browser traffic through TOR?

I just spin up new virtual machines, with different flavors of linux. They're all fairly interchangable at this point.
