Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript
moseschrute@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoThe more things you block, the more unique and fingerprintable you become. Blocking JS altogether may mitigate some of that, but you can be fingerprinted even without JS.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding but when the VPN makes a request for the page information the request isn’t forwarding the browser information is it? So wouldn’t most of that be mitigated there?
As in the VPNs several making the request should show when they scrape that information, not the end user. Maybe I’m not understanding that though.
A VPN doesn’t alter the requests your browser is making. It just masks your IP address.
Yeah if it’s sending the data and not searching from the server itself it would make it easier to track you having higher security almost. Because it would make your identifiers more unique if everyone else wasn’t… That’s food for thought

I know, and I’m still researching the best way to mitigate this. So far, I’ve come away with the impression that Tor Browser and Brave do the best jobs of minimising fingerprinting, otherwise I would have just disabled JS in Vanadium and called it a day.

How about LibreWolf?

Librewolf isn’t available on Android.
On the desktop, it’s decent. It’s also what I recommend to most people asking me for advice. However, on that front, it’s beaten by Tor Browser and Mullvad Browser.
