And a grandmaster at that! Has such unpresidented talent ever been seen on this world?

This really seemed like a good simplification until you threw in that d'Alembert operator at the end

Default linux works too ofc, I didn't know they took that route.
Most other browsers have very specific useragents, so the main pool of same useragents will be hardened browsers anyway.

Thank you for checking

Try it with high security settings in tor, it might be something like canvas. Did you enable any permissions for the website?

I was joking about everyone sending the alt text in a slightly different style. Hence also "alttext"

That would be a fail of the fingerprinting protection. A properly set up TOR browser for example should not allow that detection by any means. If you know how to detect it, please report it as a critical vulnerability.

I could think of maybe some edge case behavior in webrenderer or js cavas etc., which would mainly expose info on the specific browser and underlying hardware, but that is all of course blocked of or fixed in hardened browsers.

Further, if you have a reliable method, you could sell it off to for example Netflix, who are trying to block higher resolutions for Linux browsers but are currently foiled by changing the useragent (if you have widevine set up).

That can't have been the reason, rather the fact it could tell.
Your browser sends information about its version and the os in the useragent string. It is supposed to lie and say it is a very commonly used useragent, specifically for purposes of fingerprinting. That would be windows, default configuration, firefox version something not you firefox version

All oleds do it at lower brightnesses. They can't dim very far, so they need to flicker to get a usable color-depth

ssds are a really cheap upgrade, and have been for a while. My systems of similsr age have had ssd upgrades for about 5 years now. It'll likely be limited to sata speeds though.

I built it 6 months ago on a 3700x, took 3h. Where firefox took 20 minutes

Redjard , 2 months ago to Privacy in How long does it take to build LibreWolf?

The missing number is drive speed, because 4GB ram are not nearly enough, swapping is necessary. But with fast moder drives (were pcie ssds a thing back then?) expect half a day

Redjard , 2 months ago to Privacy in How long does it take to build LibreWolf?

For reference my modern system sits well below 20 minutes without pgo, and below 40 with.
