You can increase the number of hops to make it very difficult. Guard nodes are pinned, so they might know who uses and who doesnt use Tor (doesnt matter if you arent using a bridge).
You can also set up your own exit/guard node and configure Tor accordingly. While not a recommended setup, it works pretty reliably.
Being blunt: your setup doesnt protect you from Apple. Websites will and does recognize you on every visit, both those done in private tabs and the usual ones. DDG and ProtonMail i cant comment on, but they are one of the better choices for the less tech-savvy/i-want-to-spend-my-free-time-having-fun. You have a pretty nice setup in terms of security, however.
If you want better protection for websites identifying you, you should consider researching on browser fingerprinting (which is extremely hard, if not impossible to do on Safari). If you want better protection overall, ditch Apple.
If they had given you a seat that gives you power, money and influence, and you had the knowledge to expand it both for yourself and them, what would you do?
Nothing? Well that seat would vanish pretty quickly.
This API wont remove or deprecate the already existing tracking methods, third party cookies can be disabled but alternative practices have been developed a good while ago (and new ones are actively being found). Advertisement networks _will_ find a way (avoiding fingerprinting is impossible, unless all browser companies decide to merge; exposing hardware to the web is the new trend for web technologies, and hardware can be extremely unique especially when combined with an IP yada yada) without depending on Google, their competitor in advertising, for their own product. Google, however, will hand your search history out to any website for free(?)
The existence of this APIs will be very useful to argue that server-side data collection is not reasonable under GDPR anymore.
I hope it gets implemented because it will give significant ammunition to us in Europe to make server-side behaviour tracking marked as unreasonable under GDPR provisions.
The one that's now moving to the client when it comes to Ad serve. This makes a case for an Ad network tracking data collection much weaker since GDPR demands minimum data collection to satisfy a given business goal.
This will make it much easier for is to argue that server side behaviour data collection is outright unnecessary and thus illegal for many ad services.
Ignoring STUN/TURN, WebRTC should be able to do this. there are things like webtorrent.io
All we need is demand. Demand for non-walled garden content. Demand for less monthly subscriptions to be able to run something you already own. Demand for DRM-free content that you can share with your grandma or watch on a seperate device on a flight.
i dont get this, i can find almost anything i want with DDG, Yandex or a metasearch engine. I havent used Google for a few years now and i never have issues with it. Could you provide any sample work you search for? Maybe DDG performs better in specific topics (although the SEO spam has been getting more and more annoying)
> If your topic is niche enough to be unaffected by SEO machinations, then you're in the regime of the OG internet with PageRank excellently organizing random blogs. It's their bread and butter.
You can also set up your own exit/guard node and configure Tor accordingly. While not a recommended setup, it works pretty reliably.
