Amidst the glossy marketing for VPN services, it can be tempting to believe that the moment you flick on the VPN connection you can browse the internet with full privacy. Unfortunately this is quit…

Damn… I guess the next idea is going offline for good

    Here are some extra tips for increased privacy:

    • Don´t use your browser in fullscreen
    • Download Chameleon for Firefox, it periodically changes the browser and OS it pretends to be

    OR: Use Chameleon and set yourself to the most common combo. Get lost in the noise.

        randomlzing your window size shows trackers different resolutions.

        depending on which OS you use it won’t show 1920x1080, as taskbars and other extras take off a few pixels.

        example: if your browser is fullscreen and only shows a resolution of 1920x1075 it could most likely mean you use macos (randomly chosen)

      Why no full screen? The second point makes sense and I might go back to using FF, but I can fathom what not going full screen accomplishes.

          Thanks! I had no idea. I figured the resolution came from system specs. This is good to know. Although, I’m super close to just vanishing the internet entirely. Tracking is getting out of hand…
