They both path through the network exactly the same way (so that you can't tell them apart, which is the whole point of Tor, to make us all look the same). That is its single goal.īrave is a general purpose browser and is not dedicated to anonymity. Same Tor underneath, TBB just has the browser bundled on top of the Tor connection whereas expert is just the connection with no browser. If you modify the Tor Browser with addons, etc, you start to look different to a web server and therefore you are more easily picked out. It seeks to make everyone look exactly the same. Since randomizing just one value "poisons" the entire fingerprint. Together a large number of semi-identifiers into a single identifier, This approach is especially useful in fingerprinters that hash Third partyįrames and script share the seed value of the top level, eTLD+1ĭomain.
These randomization values are derivedįrom a seed that changes per session, and per eTLD+1. Modifications that are imperceivable to humans, but distinguishing toĬomputers / fingerprinters. In cases where we randomize API values, we attempt to make Return empty, or non-identifying values, that have the "shape" ofĮxpected values, to minimize web compatibility issues. In cases where we block, remove or modify API behavior, we attempt to Possible, and (ii) randomizing values from APIs, to prevent cross Removing or modifying APIs, to make Brave instances look as similar as Worthwhile for us to make these attacks as slow / costly / difficultīrave includes two types of fingerprinting protections, (i) blocking, Although fingerprinting attacks will always be possible, it is
Purpose of covertly identifying users and tracking them across the This question has already been answered but because you have a bounty, I can't mark it as such.īrave includes best-effort defense against browser fingerprinting.īroadly speaking, browser fingerprinting is the detection of browserĪnd operating system features that differ between users for the
