All I found was this comment about the difference.

Premium domain is only available when you have premium, because fewer people pay and fewer people use it, so there is less abuse and the domain name has better reputation, so when you public domain is not working, using the premium domain may be able to register.-

We investigate what data iOS on an iPhone shares with Apple and what data Google Android on a Pixel phone shares with Google. We find that even when minimally configured and the handset is idle both iOS and Google Android share data with Apple/Google on average every 4.5 mins. The phone IMEI, hardware serial number, SIM serial number and IMSI, handset phone number etc are shared with Apple and Google. Both iOS and Google Android transmit telemetry, despite the user explicitly opting out of this. When a SIM is inserted both iOS and Google Android send details to Apple/Google. iOS sends the MAC addresses of nearby devices, e.g. other handsets and the home gateway, to Apple together with their GPS location. Users have no opt out from this and currently there are few, if any, realistic options for preventing this data sharing.

But couldn't the JS runtime track which objects and variables interact with such information, so if they make any HTTP requests with the info after getting it and maybe processing it then it could be rejected?

Fingerprinting works by collecting bits of information about the browser and device to identify users. Couldn't browsers see when a website gets such info with JS and either prevent or ask permission from the user for the website to make HTTP requests to upload such information to the website. Idk if they do something like this already.

But would it not be easy for a user to catch when the app is using the mic or camera when it's not supposed to? the lights are an iOS feature that can't be disabled.

iOS is very good about sandboxing and only letting apps run things while the app is open and focused on. It shows green and orange dots when the camera or mic is being used, and none of my use them without saying so and they only do so when they actually need them. If that is the case, are there any potential privacy issues with it?

I've been looking at using email aliases services, and right now I'm thinking of using Simplelogin for all my online accounts and accounts where I can change my email easily, and getting my own domain to share with people and where I can't easily update my email. It seems like I shouldn't use my own domain for online services because it would be unique and can be tracked.

I did lots of reading about this and am still wondering why someone would want to opt for catch-all domains over aliases. Catch-alls seem highly susceptible to spam and while I haven't actually done any email aliasing yet, it doesn't seem to take much effort to make a new alias if you have a plan with unlimited aliases.

Would u know how I could randomize (constantly change) my fingerprint?

[-] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

You're absolutely right micro-optimization, I found that I did too much of that in 2022 and 23 and really cut down on that this year, I found that doing so is basically never worth it. I'm not gonna do that with privacy either, I'm focusing on what actions I can take that will make big improvements to my privacy rather than tweak every little thing.

Firefox changes the capacity dynamically, I set browser.cache.disk.capacity to false in about:config and browser.cache.disk.capacity to 1024000 (the storage amount in MBs)

I have UBlock Origin, I assume that one that one is good?

[-] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago

This was last updated 3 years ago, does it still work fine? Maybe add a note saying that it works as of 2024? I also see an issue opened a year ago that's unanswered.

Seriously, every post I read that's upvoted is smack talking Mozilla in every way possible and it just so happens to take place exactly when Google quietly announces Manifest V3. Mozilla is not our enemy, Google is. Don't let all these bot upvoted comments and posts let you forget that. Has Mozilla made some questionable moves lately? Yeah.. the biggest being the purchase of Anonym. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-anonym-raising-the-bar-for-privacy-preserving-digital-advertising/

We'll just have to wait and see how that turns out. But I found it amusing when I saw this post and it got so many upvotes immediately after Mozilla announced the purchase. https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1dkujuh/mozilla_anonym_is_a_datahoovering_monster/

Then Mozilla allegedly fired someone because he has cancer. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/mozilla-is-trying-to-push-me-out-because-i-have-cancer-cpo-says-in-bombshell-lawsuit/ar-BB1oOjOZ

Then I was reading Mozilla android browser is suddenly the worst and least secure android browser.

It's never ending.. Honestly I think I am just going to take some time away from Reddit because it's becoming such a corporate shill and bot upvoted cesspool. I'm sure this will get heavily down-voted but I just wanted to give my two cents. Mozilla will always be my preferred choice for privacy and security and unless I see some actual changes within the browsers no one will ever convince me otherwise.

I've received complaints about spamming posts so I added the instance names in the titles. I thought there's no harm in posting crossposting, I know Lemmy is federated but I want to ensure they show up instead of hoping for automatic feed algorithm to show them when it may or may not.

IDK why I so much flak. If any here downvotes my posts or this comment please respond below with your thoughts to help me figure out how to move forward.

That worked, thanks!

Ding ding ding! User agent switcher addon. See my post edit.

Close, it was a user agent switcher addon. Look at my post edit.
