Hi folks! I'm a journalist in Montreal covering the climate and environment beat (and sometimes other stuff too). I work for the CBC News online interactive team, but I also regularly report for our national TV and radio shows. #Journalism #CdaPoli #CBC #Mtl

Did someone say encryption? Encryption helps protect the privacy of people you communicate with, and makes life difficult for bulk surveillance systems. Learn more with our Email Self Defense guide: https://u.fsf.org/1df #GPG #PGP #E2E #encryption

If you’ve ever received an email from an address you don’t recognize, email headers can help you investigate if the email is from someone you trust or someone trying to phish you.

We are always trying to understand how we can better control our privacy on the internet, and your choice web browser to use is among the most important decisions you can make. We used EFF's "Cover your tracks" website (https://coveryourtracks.eff.org) to compare six different well-known browsers for web tracking and browser fingerprinting.

Tor browser apparently provided the strongest protection against web tracking and contained fingerprinting uniqueness to 1 in about 46k. They try to provide a uniform fingerprint across devices, allow you to hide in a crowd. Brave, on the other hand, takes a different approach. While they provided only some protection against web tracking, but they constantly randomize the fingerprint, providing "very strong" protection against indentification through fingerprinting. We arranged the results in the order that we perceived each browser's privacy benefits.

There was no discernable privacy protection at all with Chrome and Edge browsers.

Our analysis was done on April 18, 2023.

TOR
"Our tests indicate that you have STRONG protection against Web tracking."
Uniqueness: 1 in 45914.0
This browser has a fingerprint that conveys 15.49 bits of identifying information.

BRAVE
"Our tests indicate that you have SOME protection against Web tracking, but it has some gaps."
"Your browser fingerprint has been randomized among the 229,589 tested in the past 45 days. Although sophisticated adversaries may still able to track you to some extent, randomization provides a VERY STRONG protection against tracking companies trying to fingerprint your browser."
Your browser has a fingerprint that conveys at least 17.81 bits of identifying information.

MULLVAD,
"Our tests indicate that you have some protection against Web tracking, but it has some gaps."
Uniqueness: 1 in 114734.5
This browser has a fingerprint that conveys 16.81 bits of identifying information.

FIREFOX
"Our tests indicate that you have STRONG protection against Web tracking."
Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among all browsers tested in the past 45 days.
This browser has a fingerprint that conveys at least 17.81 bits of identifying information.

CHROME
"Our tests indicate that you are NOT protected against tracking on the Web."
Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among all browsers tested in the past 45 days.
Your browser has a fingerprint that conveys at least 17.81 bits of identifying information

EDGE
"Our tests indicate that you have SOME protection against Web tracking, but it has some gaps."
Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among all browsers tested in the past 45 days.
This browser has a fingerprint that conveys at least 17.81 bits of identifying information.

We’re part of an open letter asking the UK government to rethink the Online Safety Bill to protect end-to-end encryption and respect privacy.

Read the letter here: https://element.io/blog/the-uks-online-safety-bill-undermines-everyones-safety

Together with fellow encrypted messaging services, we urge the UK government to rethink the Online Safety Bill, respect the right to privacy, and avoid mass surveillance: https://threema.ch/bp/online-safety-bill?preview=0

We have the schedule posted for this year's @opensuse Conference. Check out all the great talks we have planned for this year's #oSC23! https://events.opensuse.org/conferences/oSC23/schedule

Our position remains clear. We will not back down on providing private, safe communications. We join with other encrypted messengers pushing back on the UK's flawed Online Safety Bill.
