MediaDRM identifier on GrapheneOS in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] happeningtofry99158@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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 an solution to spoof media drm for the same app across different profile

though I'm having trouble understanding what exact information will thunderbird leak to email service provider.

Does this mean thunderbird will send (Examples of the global OS configuration available to apps are time zone, network country code and other similar global settings.) to any email service provider that is logged in on thunderbird?

privacy issue log into multiple google account in thunderbird

What information I might leak to google server if I issue log into multiple google account in thunderbird? ip of course but what else might be collected? It would be really great if someone could clarify whether the information below will be send to google when using their email service even through Thunderbird

  • device name
  • device model
  • ...

My main concern is that google will be able to know that I have logged into the same device with different accounts.

In addition, I plan to use VPN when using one google account but not the others. This can be achieved through profiling, but is there an option that I can simply manage all the accounts in one app but without my ip address being collected by several specific email service provider corresponding to several specific email?

thanks a lot!

Looking for Privacy-Oriented Open-Source Android Browsers in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

UPDATE: iceraven vs ironfox

https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1lkagoz/iceraven_vs_ironfox_firefox_fork_for_android/

I use both! Ironfox is hardened to improve security as best as possible for a gecko based android browser and focuses mainly on preventing fingerprinting, similar to mullvad's browser. Because of these extra privacy protections some websites will be more prone to break or render goofy on ironfox, but luckily I haven't ran into that issue yet.

Iceraven just strips out mozilla's tracking and adds tons of extra extensions and customizability, but doesn't include the extra security hardening or fingerprint protection like ironfox does.

Both devs are very good at keeping up with releases imo.

So if you really need airtight fingerprint prevention, or want extra security hardening, I'd go with ironfox. Also just a note, even with ironfox's hardening, it's still not as secure as a chromium based browser. Some people have very strong opinions on the gecko vs chromium security debate so I'm just pointing that out as a disclaimer. If you're gonna be treading into websites where there's a significant risk of picking up something nefarious in the background, stick with a chromium based browser for those sites as a precaution. Just my 2 cents.

How do I simply copy a google photo to Clipboard so I can do a simple paste into any app? (lemmy.world)

How do I simply copy a google photo to Clipboard so I can do a simple paste into any app?

https://support.google.com/photos/thread/2514728/how-do-i-simply-copy-a-google-photo-to-clipboard-so-i-can-do-a-simple-paste-into-any-app?hl=en I took a screenshot, but this would apply to anything in my Google photos. I simply want to share an image to an existing thread in a Facebook group, NOT to do a general share to Facebook in a new thread. The obvious way would be to paste from the clipboard. Is there an easy way to put a Google photo into the clipboard? There only seem to be share options. I don't want to share as a link, I want to paste the actual image.

Any solutions for this now we are in 2025?

thanks a lot

The network can see your imei and triangulate your location as long as your radio is on (lemmy.world)

https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/7710-changing-imei/8

A phone doesnt need a sim to connect to the network towers. Sim is only for billing. The network can see your imei and triangulate your location as long as your radio is on.

I have read this on https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/7710-changing-imei/8, but I'm bit confused. Does this mean our IMEI is identified by cell tower as long as the airplane mode is off? What exact setting is "Radio" referring to?

thanks a lot

thanks @rowinxavier@lemmy.world and @9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world

Short answer: Yes The network can see your IMEI and triangulate your location even though no SIM is installed. and theoretically with airplane mode off no radio is on

IMEI concern grapheneOS (lemmy.world)
 

Is it a good enough solution for IMEI tracking to use an alternative device to provide a hotspot connection?

This approach appears to protect any new device that hasn't inserted a SIM card from being identified.

But I'm not sure how much information is carried to the second device by using hotspot.

Is this a good solution so far? Should I try to spoof IMEI?

Should I enable WIFI scanning / Bluetooth scanning / Network Location under setting->location->location services?

Which one would help me navigate inside a building or underground using open source maps?

I haven't tested yet, does google map requires any of those location services enabled to work? Should I just use google map in vanadium?

thanks a lot
