Psylo, which bills itself as a new kind of private web browser, debuted last Tuesday in Apple’s App Store, one day ahead of a report warning about the widespread use of browser fingerprinting for ad tracking and targeting.
It was a fortuitous coincidence.
Psylo for iOS and iPadOS was created by Mysk, a Canada-based app biz run by software developers and security researchers Talal Haj Bakry and Tommy Mysk.
“Psylo stands out as it is the only WebKit-based iOS browser that truly isolates tabs,” Tommy Mysk told The Register. "It’s not only about separate storage and cookies. Psylo goes beyond that.
“This is why we call tabs ‘silos.’ It applies unique anti-fingerprinting measures per silo, such as canvas randomization. This way two Psylo tabs opening the same website would appear as though they originated on two different devices to the opened website.”
ps : I’ve never tried anything like this, although it sounds plausible. If you still use social media like facebook, instagram, tiktok or google account. They can still track you, even you use different IP in each browser tab. So make sure you don’t use social media, google, or microsoft account
Phiole…
Adblockers…
Changing the local host file for redirecting the addresses to 127.0.0.1 cause theres no home like 127.0.0.1…
etc.However… no new engine… it remains limited to the small selection… But again a new browser with a “fresh” visual infusion that wants to do it better… With the same basic structure…
