I’m not too sure, maybe? If the tracking pixel is on a domain known to serve ads or trackers, it might, but if it’s on a legitimate domain (e.g. your ISP’s) I don’t think it can, since you’d have to have added the ISP’s domain to the Pi-hole blacklist

Email aliasing services, which are genuinely good services to use, strip those pixels from inbound emails. At least Firefox Relay, Addy and SimpleLogin do

“came out of beta”, though. in the first few days, or weeks, after the official release, there was extensive discussion about the issues and shortcomings of Cosmic, if I recall correctly

edit: whoops, I was too slow

Read somewhere that sometimes it’s best to ask for obfuscation of personal info rather than straight up removal, as a middle ground you can both agree on, e.g. truncating your name and surname in your reviews.

If you’re not in a country with strong personal information rights, try that next; if you are, you may need to contact your local data protection authority to file a complaint

nobody’s personal device hygiene is perfect

fair point. guess I’ll try to understand a bit better how everything works before making a decision

side note: I like how in this thread we have a crow, a f3nyx and a raccoon lol

Interesting, how useful is it if I’m always behind a VPN and browse privately (hardened browser, ad blocker, no-script, never logged in etc.)?

May be wrong but the way I see it it doesn’t help me much?

I installed it by adding their repo to F-droid and it worked, try that

IronFox from here:

https://github.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox

desktop should “leak” more or less the same data, I think

Weird, my Fennec must’ve had additional configurations I forgot about since it didn’t give out that info. I uninstalled it for IronFox so I can’t check it! I mentioned LibreWolf but that’s on desktop, so no gyro info there

I have no answer to your question, but if you’re looking for alternatives, hardened Firefox forks such as LibreWolf, Fennec, IronFox etc all have varying degrees of anti-fingerprinting features. I know for sure that Fennec withholds battery and gyro data, but gives timezone data, while IronFoxcan spoof the latter with a toggle and reports a spoofed screen size

Thanks for sharing, I was already using a decent anti-fingerprinting browser (Fennec) but the fact that it gave away my timezone made me research a bit more and I’m now on IronFox, which has a toggle to spoof it, and reports a fake screen resolution. Great! I’m now unique on coveryourtracks though
