Chromium Portable v31.0.1650.8

[empirestate]

Why this is one of the best Chromium version for stealth

- This version doesn't have WebRTC capability. This is important if you are using VPNs. Updated Chrome versions can reveal your real IP even if you are using VPNs.

- No flash. Most updated versions of Chrome has built-in flash support. No flash cookies to worry about.

- Portable. Can run on a USB stick.

- Deleting the Data Folder will reset the browser to factory settings.

Firefox is also viable. In default setup, it does not have flash installed, and webrtc does not work. And, of course, it has incognito tabs

Nice find. Thanks for the in-depth info.

Which version of Firefox are you talking about? The latest Firefox has WebRTC enabled by default.

You are welcome. Finally somebody appreciates

thanks for the tip on chromium portable. I just downloaded it now.

I was wondering why so many people use firefox portable if as you said it has webrtc possibly leaking the real ip address. Is there a way to find out if it is or isn't leaking the real ip?

Also, what is the process of setting up this browser for multiple stealth accounts? Do I just click the install exe file and then copy and paste the folder to duplicate it to how many accounts I need? And I don't have to worry about messing with the global flash settings?

And as far as browser finger printing, does chromium register as "Google Chrome"? I'm concerned that this chromium browser might be really unique to leave that kind of fingerprint across all my accounts using the same browser, that if it was manually reviewed that it would be linked easily. Have you been made aware of any issues?

Thanks

Been a while since I posted this and new methods to block WebRTC and Anti-fingerprinting have been discovered.
You can get the most updated chrome portable and you install addons below.
If you want manage multiple accounts, make a folder for each account and individually install chromium portable on each folder for each account.
As far as flash goes, go to chrome://plugins/ on chromium and disable flash.


1. WebRTC Leak Prevent extension - Download Link

2. CanvasFingerprintBlock extension - Download Link

You can check WebRTC detection on this website....

But then again, I prefer using firefox regular....

Why do you prefer firefox regular? You recommend firefox over chrome now? And you don't use portable?

[empirestate]

It's a matter of personal preference.

1. WebRTC Leak Prevent extension - Download Link

2. CanvasFingerprintBlock extension - Download Link

Thanks for the reply.

I was wondering though:

#1) Can I just install once the portable in a folder. Then copy and paste that folder. Or is doing it through clicking the install file to repeat the installation necessary?

#2) As far as browser fingerprinting goes, don't they see the "CanvasFingerprintBlock extension" and "WebRTC block extension"? So creating a more unique browser finger print to possibly create a link to our accounts. Or does this CanvasFingerprintBlock extension prevent websites from seeing our extension addons all together?

#3) It used to be that the general consensus on the forum that browser fingerprinting was a non-issue with Amazon. Has things changed now? Are people being linked in this way?

What's your setup for firefox for multiple stealth accounts?

And add-ons, etc?

Yea, you can make a template folder and just copy and paste this template folder for each account.

Using this extension may get you banned Blocking Canvas function is an extremely suspicious behavior from website's point of view. Only like <0,1% of users are blocking it. This not only makes you easily trackable (here's why) but also signals that you are actively trying to counteract protective mechanisms of websites.

If you want to protect your browser from Canvas fingerprinting, better use Canvas Defender extension. I am participating in its development. May ask me anything about it

Websites don't see which extensions you have (they only see enabled plugins). But they can see traces of using some extensions.

E.g.
CanvasFingertBlock - blocked "canvas" functions (which is suspicious)
WebRTC block - unavailable public IP address via UDP protocol.

I would recommend going smart about blocking WebRTC. If you are using VPN that creates a network interface on your PC, you may not need WebRTC. (Make a test at browserleaks.com). If you are using http proxies however, you will always need to block WebRTC.

As far as I remember, WebRTC block extension is one of the two solutions in the world (the second is MultiLoginApp browser launcher), which make WebRTC plugin appearing to websites as enabled while simultaneously preventing it from leaking your real IP.

Obviously you have not tried CanvasFingerprintBlock extension, because if you did, you would know that it doesn't block canvas elements, it spoofs your real Canvas fingerprint. I'm pretty sure you just read the word "block" and you immediately judged the addon. Please next time do you research before you come here saying something about my recommendation.

Again, if you read his post, you would know that he is asking for Chrome specifically and that's why I recommended extension geared towards Chrome. I am aware of your Canvas Defender and I would have recommended it if he asked for Firefox.

What makes you think so?

I judge add-on based on its description on the developer's website:

The canvas-drawing functions are not affected by CanvasFingerprintBlock, so websites that use the canvas for basic drawing will not be affected. On the other hand, when a website tries to export data from the canvas, CanvasFingerprintBlock will “fool” the website by showing it a blank canvas instead of the canvas containing the actual pixels. If the website is reading the canvas data to generate a fingerprint, the generated fingerprint will be useless because CanvasFingerprintBlock makes everyone’s fingerprint look the same.

Giving blank fingerprint is exactly the kind of suspicious behavior I was talking about. This is what makes you stand out from the crowd. And it is NO DIFFERENT than blocking canvas function completely. It doesn't impair functionality but from browser fingerprinting point of view there is no difference between blocked Canvas function and blank Canvas output. I just omitted this detail as it doesn't make any difference and not interesting for non-specialists in privacy field.

You may continue sticking to your opinion, I don't care. Just wanted to inform other members that actions suggested by you may be even worse than having a normal "real" canvas fingerprint.

Canvas Defender is available for Chrome too (and it's free)

Instead of getting far too technical here as this seems far too over the top for eBay, Amazon this would be ideal but theres no need for hiding fingerprints for eBay.

Can you just download Chromium and then disable flash and be good to go then the same as FireFox Portable?

[lone.gunman]

is the old chromium still good?
