@majorgnu 5 месяцев назад

3:57 The point is that the legitimate server disabling plain HTTP does *not* prevent a MitM attacker from serving a plain HTTP attack site of their own. HSTS makes it so that the browser will refuse to use a plain HTTP connection to a website, for the duration specified in the HSTS header. This prevents that kind of MitM attack against browsers that have already visited the website in the past. Also, HSTS supercookies don't work like regular cookies, you don' get to store arbitrary data and then retrieve it later at will. It just causes the browser to refuse plain HTTP for a set time. The way that it can be used to fingerprint browsers is not immediately obvious and requires clever use of a number of phony domains. Accusing the people who came up with it of "not caring about privacy at all" when it requires a sophisticated side channel attack to turn it against users is completely disingenuous.

You could enable HTTPS only on your browser, so if an MITM serves an HTTP page it simply won't work. While 95% of websites use HTTPS nowadays, there are still some out there which do not. It's a two edged sword.

Am clueless. What kind of course can one take to learn more about these things? Learning to code seems like a long involved, abstract process. I am no good at math. Is it needed in order to use a Command line? Questions like - I don't use a browser, I just use a search engine. Or pay directly on the merchant website... Browsers are only needed for bookmarks or tabs... If your phone has malware, using Signal or a password manager wont help... Are there more secure keyboard apps than Gboard on Android?

i have a bunch of comments here. 1- you're just sticking your finger in the dam. browsers are hundreds of thousands of lines of code that cannot really be vetted. you code. you know about combinations. you know that the code isn't really that vetted. the industry just doesn't test that well. browsers are black box, mitm, out of the gate. 2- how about pulling a stallman, and curling all the stuff you desire. advocate for less dynamic web. advocate for sites that don't serve pages that have external js links. advocate for sites that abide by a "limited complexity" ethos. 3- the consumer is redirected into better behaviour by example. this ain't by playing stick your finger in the dam ad infinitum. a rewrite/redesign is needed to clarify the boundaries.

@jms019 6 месяцев назад

The main problem is that browsers are very complicated constantly changing bits of software and dangers especially of interactions with third parties tend to be discovered too late. This can only get worse.

@BillAnt 4 месяца назад

The constant changing IS one of the problems with browsers. Even if most bugs have been worked out, as soon as new features are added, they can potentially introduce new bugs which can be used as back-doors by clever hackers.

I have used browser partitioning for a long time It's super easy. An alternative is to use a virtual machine that you reset after each use. That will wholly avoid the super cookie issue, bit it' clunky and it os easy to make mistakes. If you still want to go that route here is what I did for quite a while. OS at the time was a self-compiled, hardened Gentoo. Browser partitioning for every day use. 1 browser for google (keep cookies) 1 browser for surfing (delete cookies at close) 1 browser for non-google logins (delete cookies manually) 1 VM for facebook (static disk) 1 VM for banking and shopping (static disk) 1 VM for browsing (reset disk after each use)

@NoEgg4u 6 месяцев назад

Rob, could virtual machines mitigate tracking? For example, if you do a clean install of Windows 10 as a guest in Oracle's Virtual Box, take a snapshot (before any web browsing), and then do your web browsing... then... ...when you are done with your web browsing, you can restore your snapshot (takes 2 seconds). Your Windows 10 guest machine will be completely restored to prior to your web browsing session. Is there any benefit to the above? Or is it a waste of time? Your solution, to use different browsers, is intriguing. But then each of those browsers is keeping a history of your activities. And what happens if you mistakenly use the wrong browser and visit a site that you were supposed to visit with a different browser? I figure that by using a virtual machine (even more than one virtual machine), then you would be completely clearing out whatever your guest machine had stored, upon restoring your snapshot. Your thoughts?

Related question/problem I can't understand despite my technical background: This happens only on mobile, Android browsers no matter Googled or de-Googled. I typically use Firefox there so we can narrow issue to it. I follow same good privacy idea as you and on installation I disable any memorizing of anything (name, email, address fields, ccards,...). I also disable any "hints" for any fields such as URL, search,... However, now and then a website form will provide me with an option when I click on the field. Say I click on empty email field and below it will appear "suggestion" of the last email I typed in some other form on the browser. Need not be the email I use at that site but, suggestion appears. I have never seen this on desktop browsers and I don't understand where the info is coming from. Any ideas? (I see this as very bad as it somehow automagically bypasses my "ban" on remembering the form fields...)

Are super cookies persistent in privacy tab, once the private tab is closed?

Well, that explains how Humble Bundle so so often has book bundles about the stuff I was looking into to the past week. I'm sure it's not tailored exclusively to me personally, but if they can see the interests of their visitors, it's pretty easy to then offer anything related to that topic the next week.

That's why I hate modern browsers, especially since Firefox version >35. You no longer have any control over your data and what the browser can and is allowed to do. To this day I still don't understand why Mozilla sold itself and gave up itself. Not only to mention the "great" developers......

Hey Rob. What about the actual keyboard app on Android. If I switch on my VPN and load up Brave browser, Gboard still has all my auto fill words and It sends usage statistics to Google. Is this data also being used to fingerprint across browsers ? Thanks

Is there a means to keep a browser secure if advertisers are not involved?

@xDMG15x 6 месяцев назад

I learned heaps from this video. I never considered that javascript might capture autofill data even if i delete it out of the input box before i submit. You mention watching youtube videos in a browser, i assume because you dont want to install the app, understandable. Is this the case with all the google services you use? Maps, search, gmail, docs etc? I’m forced to use google authenticator app for 3 different sites, is there a better option than having this app installed?

@robbraxmantech 6 месяцев назад

De-Googled phones cannot run Google apps. Which is critical since the spyware is tied to a Googled phone and not removable

@xDMG15x 6 месяцев назад

Oh okay, that makes sense. Thanks. Can you use third party youtube apps on degoogled phones? Like vanced, newpipe or even the one Louis Rossmann is co-developing, Grayjay?

Hi Rob, is the Firefox Multi-Account Containers of any use for information isolation?

@entcraft44 6 месяцев назад

It's better than nothing but worse than different browsers. It prevents tracking via cookies but fingerprinting can connect the containers since you have the same browser settings, extensions, etc. on all containers.

@robbraxmantech 6 месяцев назад

exactly

Ok, I normally think highly of your very critical view of a lot of privacy topics but HSTS? Yes, an outsider as well as the site itself may be able to find that you, at some point must've made a connection to a site at some point but from what I know, that's about it. As far as I am aware HSTS is more akin to a boolean flag, that forces your browser to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. What other data is stored on the client side that would make them identifiable in your opinion? If I am actually incorrect about this and you can give me some pointers, I would greatly appreciate it.

@robbraxmantech 6 месяцев назад

All HSTS cookies can be scanned by an outsider so that set creates a unique signature.

Don't ISP's log all URLS regardless of which Browser is used, including "In Private" browsing?

@zhang-boyu 5 месяцев назад

Yes. There always be ISP. You don't use VPN, and your ISP will get your HTTP headers (that's how GFW and other website restircitons across the world generally works). You use VPN, and your ISP will only(still) konw that you connect to somewhere, and ISP of VPN will know your URL. But (if use a dedicated mixture of plain, VPS providers, offf-the-shelf VPN providers, and Tor) you can minimize the possibility of any single organization get your full tracks on Internet.

For years I have told people about how violated we were where we use anything using the net. One day Iwas driving my semi as I was speaking to my step father about his up coming retirement. You see he is 6'6 and his legs have been giving him problems and so that's what particularly we were discussing. And so after the convo we hung up and it wasn't 10 min later he was calling me back asking me if I had contacted a doctor about his legs. And I said "no" I'm still driving and we just got off the phone. Then he proceeded to tell me how a doctor called him about service for his legs. I was stunned. Since then I play in settings so much I mess things up now turning everything off. I'm like the guy in comments that want to live off the grid in the woods.

Waht about private mode? The cookies are deleted there, right?

@usuarioenyt 6 месяцев назад

The web workers only continue running if you later went back to the same web site, not just restarting the browser (and going to some other web sites). Right? Please clarify.

@robbraxmantech 6 месяцев назад

Web worker doesn't stop just because you leave the website. In testing, the Google web workers stopped when I deleted cookies. But if I logged back in to Google, then the web workers will initiate again.

@usuarioenyt 6 месяцев назад

@@robbraxmantech I think that if a web site can leave something running after you leave the web site (close the browser tab), that would be a major issue and worth investigating. For now I think that if I close a tab with a page (I use FireFox), the cookie remains as a cookie but nothing stays running, unless I come back and open that web site again.

Why not using Firefox Containers to separate the browsing profiles?

@ctg3d 5 месяцев назад

Just a note, moving around on other browsers (FF, chrome, whatever), using the same IP.. doesn't mean much to people who are dedicated to scraping data. Especially when requests are within the same time frame or depending on the logs, months apart. Using a VPN could circumvent that.. since the scraped data would all be lumped over "everyone" using that IP making the data an irrelevant mess. Using a different IP per sectioned off browser, like using your phone's data and PC on home wifi.. can segregate it like you propose. Up until you merge the phone on wifi or pc tethered to cell data. You're probably reaching paranoid levels at this point though. ;)
