I can’t get the fingerprinting protection to work correctly on IronFox, but my combination of extensions works fine with Fennec and LibreWolf on desktop. I tried playing with the fingerprinting presets and disabling webGL, but none of that has worked.
I really don’t want to use Fennec since it seems to have all the Mozilla bloat. It won’t even erase history on close, only when clicking “Quit” from the selection menu, which I think is a fucking terrible design decision.
I’m using this site to see if a random hash is generated on each reload: https://royfish.dev/fingerprints-are-the-new-cookies
Honestly, just use Vanadium on GrapheneOS instead of IronFox
It’s more secure and if your browser gets compromised, your phone’s security goes out the window. I’m fine trading a little privacy for better security
I prefer not using a Chrome browser
They’re right, Firefox has no sandbox site isolation on Android. Chromium is the way to go.
Firefox just rolled out process isolation on Android.
It’s weaker than Vanadium’s OS native isolation, though it’s nice to see Firefox catching up about two years later
I’m pretty sure that’s no longer true as of this year. I don’t have a reference, but I remember sandbox site isolation being implemented in Firefox (so Ironfox too)
I know they’re right. But I prefer not to use a Chrome browser.
Secondly, when it comes to browsers, the more you hide, the more you stand out, so try to blend in with most people
You stand out more if you have very strong fingerprint protection, which ironically makes you easier to track since you’re an anomaly
Are you trying to give internet cancer? Vanadium doesn’t even have ad-blocking or fingerprint resistance.
Vanadium does have ad blocking. It is just not as good as Brave or uBlock Origin.
I do second using a Chromium browser of some kind though. Brave, Vanadium, or Cromite. I understand people who prefer to avoid Chromium, but not sandboxing by site on Android is such a strange thing to avoid implementing for years & years. It defeats a lot of what you’re trying to accomplish to use Gecko based browsers. On desktop? Have at it. Android? I wouldn’t if you’re the type of person who is installing GrapheneOS.
Vanadium blocks ads for me 🤷♂️
