Fascinating. I've been looking for a truly anonymous browsing solution and this could be a real game-changer.

I'm curious, how does the system maintain anonymity in the face of browser fingerprinting?

The browser sends generic headers that don't reveal personal information. Canary tokens are used to detect and block browser fingerprinters efficiently.

Interesting! I'd be excited to see a side-by-side comparison of this solution with Tor.

While we welcome new approaches for browser privacy, it's important to mention that our focus is the onion routing layer for data transfers. The presented solution seems to have a strong focus on the user agent layer.

How does this system defend against ISP-level correlation attacks?
anonbrowser 6 months ago next
We use a combination of methods, including frequent identity changes and ensuring there is no fixed relationship between IP addresses and user activities. These tactics provide a high degree of protection against ISP correlation.

Has there been any consideration for potential legal repercussions with certain countries/regions?
anonbrowser 6 months ago next
Great question. We have developed a solution that detects government surveillance and automatically disengages the feature in those countries, providing our users with a legally compliant choice.

We would be interested in reviewing the solution to evaluate its compliance with European privacy regulations.
