Safari vs Vanadium - fingerprinting

DeletedUser479

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. (#5775)

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.

Im also interred in this topic. Hopefully some one from the @GrapheneOS team can give us some infos.

An iPhone with safari is by far the best solution if you are looking to blend in, but for this you should not change the default settings. What must be remembered is that Apple does not fragment their device and operating system. 3/4 of users share the same devices, the same update. Another solution on android would be to buy the best-selling device and do like other users. The slightest setting that you could activate or disable, such as JavaScript that transmits a lot of personal data, would make you stand out because everyone leaves the JS. I hope I have answered.

Hey, as of your question you can try out this website to see for yourself which is best at keeping lower fingerprints...
Its called "Cover your tracks"
https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/
It shows you everything that any website can see about you (and your fingerprints) just by loading it...
In reality nothing beats Tor Browsee when it comes to losing fingerprints, but at the same time you don't want to use for browser for anything that's business/work/personal, only for privacy

Instead of a browser you should use a meta search engine for no fingerprints, try Searxist apk.
