  • Safari vs Vanadium - fingerprinting

Hello,

I have a gos device and a iphone and i ask my self, with device is better to use for browsing the web, in terms of privacy.
I could use the iphone only for the purpose of web browsing.

Is apple capable to track my browsing? Or there thinks to consider with apple? With benefits has vanadium over safari?

@GrapheneOS "#p63902 Vanadium does have state partitioning and anti-fingerprinting improvements which are being expanded. Anti-fingerprint doesn't actually work when using any niche browser or niche configuration though, only a mainstream browser on a small set of hardware models with partitioning by default can hope to prevent easy fingerprinting. Safari is the only candidate for that.

    Hi, I'd be also interested to know more what would be better. To my knowledge about fingerprinting, there's no way how to avoid it completely without breaking things. It's a broad topic and someone would have to test it side by side (Vanadium vs Safari).

    Someone here has been already testing fingerprinting across profiles. It's a great discussion that may help you understand more about fingerprinting. (https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/5775-device-fingerprinting-test-results-concerns-and-questions)

    I reckon that avoiding fingerprinting is super hard and mega inconvenient to do.

    IMHO in short: Vanadium vs Safari = same! It all depends on user's behaviour. But I might be wrong and happy to hear opinions from others.

        Thanks for the link. Its a good read. So i hope someone can clarify this topic for us.

        I would guess that safari is the better option, depend on what i read so far. But with apple many thinks are not as nice in reality.
