browser footprint
I have read a thread at the JonDos forum about browser footprints.
A browser is not only identified by the user-agent, it is possible to
use the accepted language, the accepted content, accepted charsets...
To create a highly anonymous group, many user should use the same
settings for HTTP header values.
You may check your browser at: https://www.jondos.de/de/anontest#
At the page you will see the recommended settings. A developer of
JonDos wrote, they are in contact with the tor dev team about this.
Is it true? I can not find anything about this at torproject.org.
In Firefox / Iceweasel you may set all recommendations at about:config
intl.charset.default utf-8
intl.accept_charsets *
intl.accept_languages en
network.http.accept.default */*
add a new string value to the configuration:
general.useragent.override Mozilla/5.0 Gecko/20070713 Firefox/2.0.0.0
and use some plugins like RefControl, CookieSafe, NoScript....
For Konqueror I think, it is only possible, to set the following
values in $HOME/.kde/share/config/kio_httprc
Language=en
SendUserAgent=true
UserAgent=Mozilla/5.0 Gecko/20070713 Firefox/2.0.0.0
SendReferrer=false
More options possible?
Are there recommendations by others?
