thanks for explaining

lol. thanks a lot!

I don’t really plan on going total anonymous as I don’t have any bitcoin, it’s just that I don’t want cloudflare, a company to have access to my name and address without having to go through some Legal procedures. The domain is going to associate with my real ip anyway. For me it is good enough that my name is not in whois database or go public

and thanks a lot for providing these info. I guess I’m just going to put in false info and argue that is typo in the future. The most I’m gonna loss is 80$

thanks a lot!

That means everyone could use whois to look up the name and address associated with a certain domain if no privacy protection is provided by the provider right?

good to know!

thanks a lot for sharing the experience!

The issue with using fake details is that you risk getting your account suspended. Also, if your domain gets stolen you’ve made it impossible to retrieve because you will have to verify your information.

How can a domain get stolen?

do you still have your domain?

lol that’s a relief to hear

but it’s been a decade maybe the policy have changed nowadays?

according to @PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat

They definitely do check. I don’t know how detailed the checks are or how major a crime it is to use someone else’s info, but there are enough checks in place, you can’t just type in Porky Pig or made-up nonsense or anything

I was going to use their service, but I came across this thread: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/is-njalla-still-legit.1521208/, where many people are saying that njal.la is a scam. This is making me have second thoughts.

thank you so much

Thank you so very much

much appreciated

I’m still bit confused. How rendering could result in fingerprinting? If canvas and other fingerprinting is disabled of course. how is ad render different from rendering other element on a webpage

Web pages are not allowed to list your extensions. They can indirectly surmise you have certain extensions based on how your requests differ from expectations. For example, if they have advertisements, but your browser never actually makes any requests to load the images, CSS, JS or HTML for the advertisements, they can deduce you have an ad-blocker. That’s a datapoint they now have to ID you: “has an ad-blocker”

Now let’s say they have an ad they know AdBlockPlus allows, but uBlock Origin doesn’t. They see your browser doesn’t load that ad. Another datapoint: “Not using AdBlockPlus”.

Based on what requests go back and forth between your browser and their servers, they map out a unique fingerprint.

Thank you so much that makes sense

Sincere thanks

Most of those things cannot be collected through JavaScript.

Local time can.

RAM can only be approximated to protect user privacy. Edit: And it’s not available on Firefox.

OS+version are already in your browser’s user-agent string that is sent out with every request you make.

Machine hardware cannot be enumerated. JavaScript can try to guess your GPU based on what it can do with WebGL.

There is no way to get a serial number or similar.

To spoof timezone/OS+version/browser+version … and disable WebGL, use https://sereneblue.github.io/chameleon/

I guess spoofing will not make me stand out?

how does ad render in the background compromise privacy?

What HTML5 Canvas features does your browser support

Would you recommend disabling canvas?

thank you for the clarification
