      All the AI (except for one opt-in feature that lets you choose what service to use) is on-device, so although It’s not really necessary, you can’t really say it’s bad for privacy.

      it’s hard to blame them: the entirety of technology is trying to adopt AI due to all of the money that’s being flashed at them for doing so; our entire economy is based on it right now.

    The available screen resolution is the screen height minus 48 pixels.

    How does this help woth fingerprinting?

    Finally, I’ve wanted this for ages but forks like Tor and Mullvad always took the fingerprinting defense too far (with no option to tone it down).

          Refuges. Whistleblowers. Journalists. Human rights workers.

          Israel, United States, Iran, China, Russia.

          Loads of examples where this tech literally saves peoples lives.

    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
