Bromite is only for Android, but I guess Android web browsers are missed when mentioning FLoC. Also, from what I see, CalyxOS build of Chromium either has FLoC disabled by default (and it is on version 89, by the way) or I haven't been FLoC'd. Actually, since I disabled third-party cookies, I can't be FLoC'd. And also, it doesn't look like the Calyx Institute mentioned FLoC and whenever they disabled it in their build of Chromium.

At one point they started serving unsolvable captchas like google, fortunately they soon quit that fuckery and now it seems to work consistently.

It's still annoying as hell because tons of retarded webmasters block read access from Tor with Cloudflare cancer and thus also hCaptcha.

Though IMO captchas are not a fundamentally bad idea for blocking robots from having write access to a service, not malicious humans. They're just overused by idiots who have no fucking clue about what they're doing, which is mainly why half of the modern web is completely unusable on Tor. (There's also the minority which knows exactly what they're doing, aka Google.)

Should've dig deeper before sharing then, especially when it's from reddit, where they do shit like censoring the Dig Deeper website, which is a fucking joke for a subreddit that says they help with "Privacy & Freedom in the Information Age". Never mind the subreddit, the entire forum is against privacy. At least they aren't Clownflared and they allow VPNs.

I don't trust hCraptcha - their main page has a "Try it out" thing, which embeds hCraptcha over Clownflare, which means BCMA will block the main page after the first load. So it's clear to me they support Clownflare in some way.

Actually, the Stop Cloudflare repository said it's all about money. You can see it on hCraptcha main page:

hCaptcha allows websites to make money serving this demand while blocking bots and other forms of abuse.

The "abuse", of course, will be e.g. users who use Tor and they happen to visit a Clownflared website.

Is that the only issue? Well, it also has the issue reCRAPTCHA has - the user is still forced to solve it, the only thing that changes is who gets your data to abuse it.

As such, the US Postal Inspection Service has federal law enforcement officers, Postal Inspectors, who enforce approximately 200 federal laws to achieve the agency’s mission:

To make more criminals and fill federal concentration camps. Each new federal law to protect will only produce more criminals to lock in federal concentration camps. Why the fuck would postal service do that with that disgusting glorified pose? It's not controversial, it's evil.

Setting preferences doesn't work on the onion site, apparently because the server always tries to set the cookie domain to its clearnet hostname.

Set-Cookie: PREFS=*snip*; domain=tube.incognet.io; path=/; expires=Thu, 20 Apr 2023 02:30:45 GMT; Secure; HttpOnly

Any chances you could look into this? Thanks in advance!

Upboat because you are the only one who replies to my posts. I see you have read the article carefully, but I'm pretty sure the part about migrant routes isn't realistic, ICE will find the tech more useful than any NGO, although you probably think ICE is on Soros' payroll.

I see a lot of neutered 'facts' in the middle of overton window

What do you mean? My take is that the use of this form of fingerprinting mechanism is worrying, especially when a huge share of all satellites in orbit is controlled by a manchild.
