DuckDuckGo Newsletter: Incognito Mode isn’t as private as some people believe. Avoid “fingerprinting” — when companies combine details about your browser and device to create a unique ID — with DuckDuckGo apps and extensions. https://www.sciencefocus.com/science/how-incognito-is-incognito-mode-on-your-internet-browser/

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yeah the “Internet Guy” did a video piece on this didn’t he? All about browser fingerprinting, I believe he also wrote a tool (web app) that shows you what your browser fingerprint is…

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net I can’t find the link sorry, but that whole TrustPID sounds ever worse, why would anyone agree to being tracked? 🤔

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net I don’t understand how this is a good thing?! 🤦‍♂️

With TrustPID, the traffic of a customer account is marked with a kind of token that can be linked to the SIM card number or the mobile phone number, for example. The data traffic marked in this way by the network operator is then used to create a personal profile, which advertisers and website operators can then access.
