UPDATE: iceraven vs ironfox

https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1lkagoz/iceraven_vs_ironfox_firefox_fork_for_android/

I use both! Ironfox is hardened to improve security as best as possible for a gecko based android browser and focuses mainly on preventing fingerprinting, similar to mullvad’s browser. Because of these extra privacy protections some websites will be more prone to break or render goofy on ironfox, but luckily I haven’t ran into that issue yet.

Iceraven just strips out mozilla’s tracking and adds tons of extra extensions and customizability, but doesn’t include the extra security hardening or fingerprint protection like ironfox does.

Both devs are very good at keeping up with releases imo.

So if you really need airtight fingerprint prevention, or want extra security hardening, I’d go with ironfox. Also just a note, even with ironfox’s hardening, it’s still not as secure as a chromium based browser. Some people have very strong opinions on the gecko vs chromium security debate so I’m just pointing that out as a disclaimer. If you’re gonna be treading into websites where there’s a significant risk of picking up something nefarious in the background, stick with a chromium based browser for those sites as a precaution. Just my 2 cents.

could you briefly explain what this is? should I use this as a location server for GOS? thanks a lot

I see! thanks a lot

thank you so much!

Would you recommend everyone to turn on this DRM setting? Is there any downside? This seems like a perfect option to prevent MediaDRM tracking and I’m suprised it’s not default turned on

thanks a lot, didn’t know that, is there any way to block it?

thanks a lot!

though could you briefly explain the term “Network Location”? what does this “network” represents? How is it going to help with location and geopositioning? My understanding is that by enabling “Network Location” the location defined with “Network” is sent to SLP server as assisted data for geopositioning.

I would assume “Network” represents cellular data, hope someone could confirm

thanks a lot

can you explain what this option does? What is Force Software Secure Crypto? and what is DRM key management and software-basedwhiteboxcrypto?

Also I’m having a bit trouble understanding how Geto work, would you be so kindly to link a tutorial below? thanks a lot

If I get lost in a building… I ask someone.

what about driving? most of the times the connection isn’t good enough to support Navigation when driving.

thanks a lot, settling with lawnchair now

Many Thanks

thanks a lot

I sincerely hope you could improve your comprehension skill

Oh but you do

I have made my point and clarified myself in my previous comment. If you are having trouble comprehending it you can ask nicely

You say Apple isn’t any better (or worse off) than Android when it comes to privacy. If that’s the case, you would then prove your claim with facts from reputable sources. Just saying something doesn’t make it true.

I would expect your apology for your misuse of language. I would also expect your gratitude in return for the time I spent enlightening you.

None can make a solid conclusion about which one is better because both stock google and apple are closed source. YOU CAN ONLY GUESS

this extension could help me use extensions that I don’t trust but need their funcitonality

as you didn’t answer my question so I will ask you again

If you dont even care why paste your comment under my other cross post?

The downvotes say otherwise.

The downvotes means nothing without coherent logic

The onus is on you to provide Apple is worse for privacy than android.

I don’t have the responsibility to show you why you are wrong

good luck

what do you use?

I’m still bit confused. How rendering could result in fingerprinting? If canvas and other fingerprinting is disabled of course. how is ad render different from rendering other element on a webpage

what about other program?

@Rikudou_Sage@lemmy.world

this is absolutely horrorstruck

is there a way to prevent this?

for instance is there a way to run steam on windows without giving it access to any of access it shouldn’t have?
