Peace and data security be upon you all.

This is my German-language site on Codeberg:

https://aurora-shine.codeberg.page/no-google-track/

It covers Google’s abuse of power, Project Nimbus, and more. I also list alternative browsers and search engines, complete with pros and cons. I show you how to block Google services using uBlock Origin and strengthen your browser using the hidden about:config menu. The entire text is in German, but I hope automatic browser translation works well enough for you to understand. If you have questions, feel free to message me.

    Hi. Thanks for the comment! The confusion likely comes from the automatic translation of my German page. Sorry.

    When I wrote ‘We distort this graphic,’ I didn’t mean that I manually change it. I meant that the browser setting privacy.resistFingerprinting automatically spoofs the Canvas data for you.

    So, to answer your question about ‘Item 2’: It refers to enabling privacy.resistFingerprinting = true in Firefox’s about:config.

    Once this is active, the browser automatically returns a generic, identical Canvas image to every website, preventing them from creating a unique fingerprint based on your GPU. It’s a built-in feature, not a manual process.

    Hope that clears it up.

    Please let me know if anything is still unclear or if I made any mistakes. My English isn’t great, so I’m using a translator, and I want to make sure I’m communicating correctly!
