@@Moudifruity Absolutely, I've heard that too. I just wonder because if there are say 5 million people using chinese owned VPN's, what is China going to do with 5 million peoples worth of largely useless information. Someone who uses a free service like that for watching netflix can't be that interesting to track... can they? It would also be interesting to know about the free trials and data limited Services by paid VPN's such as Express VPN free trial or windscribe Data limited service (2GB/10GB with email)
Crazy how much the internet has shattered so many people's personal privacy - and most people don't even realize..

Your videos are always so well put together and approachable for those of us who dont understand the nitty gritty of tech. Thankyou. Maybe make a video on ad-blockers? What's the difference between a browser plugin, router firewall, DNS whitelists, etc.
Always love it when Brad uploads

Excellent video! This is extremely useful so I appreciate the effort you put into making this.
This must not be your first channel. U make things so perfectly. Your videos are very informative and yes u have earned my subs.
Pro-Tip: Add subtitles to your videos coz it makes the experience 100x better.Try it and see the results.
Always enjoy the videos man 💯 always finding myself learning something new weather it be the general topic or more endepth detail
I know this comment is gonna leave a digital footprint, but I have to say. This is the best channel I've ever encountered! As soon as I saw one video I subscribed. And I never subscribe (literally). It's intriguing both the content and the way you deliver it so it's very easy to watch. At the same time it's even more educational than most courses that ask you to pay, and last bloody hours saying the same thing. I hope you make in depth videos behind the theory maybe etc in the future. Thank you and like almost everyone in the comment section say, keep on going because you will become one of the greatest channels on KZread (And beyond ).

my guess is no and has been no since before it came out lol. if I cant trust it with my history or sign-in information, if I can't trust Facebook to not have my contact information when I don't even have a FB account than how can I trust Samsung or Apple with my fingerprint? doubtful.

@@darkskinwhite I mean yes I don't want to trust them with my fingerprints , that's why I'm wondering if they bother at all encrypting or better yet ; hashing the fingerprint or do they just use it as it is for unlocking the device and performing authentication. The hashing should be at the sensor because even the OS itself can't be trusted .
I have been waiting for a video from this channel for days
Great channel, keep up the good work!
Your production quality is top notch
Professional and informative as always
This is a small request/advice: whenever Bradley moves his head, his mouth gets closer or farther from the mic, this causes his voice to get louder all of a sudden, which is a little annoying. Other than this video's amazing and am loving your content!

It also means no one is reviewing the video and correcting this problem before it leaves the video editor program, and THAT is strange. One can easily level the voice track in the video editor.

Just use the gologin browser. You Dan set custom fingerprint by changing how the site sees you. (Headers, cookies, audidevice, os etc.) and also has inbuilt proxy support
This channel is so underrated!

Man I could binge watch this whole channel's content repeatedly until being able to recite it back word for word, open a church and preach it! Holy crud, guys! Unbelievable stuff, incredible work! Much, much respect! Oh, and ☮️❤️ of course. Ooh, what about an introduction in to cryptography, some of the earliest stuff and where we are now. That'd be pretty interesting for sure.
i would definitely love a video on recent pegasus thing going on and how to protect yourself from it .
Yay, another video!
Question: using the firefox extension outlined in the video, it gives very few options as far as changing settings (mobile/desktop/browser). Is there an extension, or way to change/mask some of the information given specifically? As in font types, WebGL Parameters, Media devices, Navigator properties, etc without physically removing say, like the media devices?

Do you think that making your fingerprint more generic would be likely to cause any issues with sites that do more advanced device checks for security, such as online banking or online based KYC checks?

Vey interesting explainer man! Got one question for you tho, I've started testing out the brave browser, which says it has fingerprinting protection and in some tests other than am I unique it does say it randomizes some bits of data of the fingerprint it gives out to websites. However in AmIUnique it says the fingerprint is unique and it reports itself as a chrome browser rather than brave. I just want to know, what is your opinion on brave? Is randomizing a fingerprint any good? or is the "blending in the crowd" be as unspecial as possible approach a better solution?
great vid

Is it possible for a browser to have a unified way to get data from the website without exposing any device identifiers? Such as virtualisation, or maybe an interpreter which renders websites with strict rules. The browser pulls the website data to be rendered independently. It would function similar to a PDF to a vector image where it can be scaled to a monitor of any resolution, but everything is handled in an isolated environment. With the increase of computational technology I feel like this wouldn't slow down the user experience too much as opposed to trying to do this in 2010 when most people still ran XP.
maybe a long shot, but how about a video about virtual reality and how it will change our digital world in the upcoming future?
Would it be possible to maintain high OPsec without compromising convenience?

3:37 You forgot to blur the IP on the bubble.... Just saying...
I’m still figuring out how to protect myself after I met someone on social media and we had a falling out. I blocked her and she found me again and began cyber stalking me. I had to repeatedly block her. What was most disturbing is that she sent me an unsolicited message in which she described the results of my Google searches that afternoon. She wasn’t even in the same country as me. She was on the other side of the world and had found a way to track me, harass me and hack my phone!!
the subs of this channel is not doing justice to the quality of his content
See this is something I didn't know existed so how much information comes on your IP address and is there a way that you can completely remove your digital fingerprint
Glad to hear I’m doing at least one thing right, deleting my cookies. I am so thankful you mentioned freaking FREE VPNs, wth I am so disappointed with myself cos I did not even think of searching for a free one! Must be from watching all those youtube videos with their VPN sponsors, I thought I had to pay for vpn. I actually went and downloaded one after this XD the ads I got started speaking foreign lmao
