MediaDRM identifier on GrapheneOS (lemmy.world)

Just a heads up for those who are using GrapheneOS. If you log into 2 (google or other) accounts on an installed app even on different profile, the service provider will still be able to link between your 2 accounts using MediaDRM. (Google will still know that both of the 2 accounts have been logged in on the same device)

I wouldn't recommend anything.

This is only what I know.

There is much much much more I don't know.

This might be useful to use temporarily when you add an app that you know will read these values on install.

You may be able to use an app like geto to have this option toggled so that it only uses the developer settings option when the app is launched and returns to hardware when it closes.

Keep in mind there are a host of other identifiers on your device that can also be used to track and identify the user and device.

I like privacy and security.

thanks a lot

EDIT: turning this option on can only generate a random mediaDRM for different apps, but the same app will still have the same mediaDRM across different profile

so you can login to 1 accounts on google and also login to bank app they wont link you through mediadrm

hopefully someone could give a solution to spoof mediadrm for the same app across different profile

Seems the only real solution is to buy cheap burners.

Curious if using the website version of an app can pick up the mediaDRM key via the browser.

I think no, best to use all app through browser if you can
