Slender: The Arrival is the official videogame adaption of Slender Man, developed in collaboration with Eric "Victor Surge" Knudson, creator of the paranormal phenomenon that has been terrifying the curious-minded around the world since its inception, with Mark Hadley and Blue Isle Studios. Slender: The Arrival is the official videogame adaption of Slender Man. Chrome extensions can’t defend you against that because Chrome is lacking a certain API.You're on your own. He refers to CNAME uncloaking, which far fewer than 1% of all trackers actually do. > Or use Firefox with uBlock Origin - ‘cos it blocks more ads than the Chromium framework will let anything block.
Ungoogled Chromium and several others have no solution for this yet, and as it stands extensions like uBlock origin will no longer work with the same quality as before, with no solution in sight. Secondly, by virtue of its built-in adblocker which is not an extension, Brave will be unaffected by Google crippling adblocking extensions. I can name two reasons to use Brave right away: First and foremost, it is the first Chromium-based browser to come with credible fingerprinting protection (Ungoogled Chromium as no noteworthy fingerprinting protections): Use Chromium - the open-source core of Chrome - with the uBlock Origin ad blocker. Last but not least, let me point out some especially egregious remarks this guy made: It needs to be noted that other browsers like Vivaldi attach a static referral as well, whenever you search something within the browser, in order to let their search engine partners know how many Vivaldi users used their search engine, allowing Vivaldi Technologies to generate revenue without hurting user privacy (Vivaldi doesn’t collect and sell user data for profit, and neither does Brave Software). This guy, David Gerard, is literally bashing Brave for letting partner websites count Brave users anonymously. It’s also deactivated by default now, despite other browsers happily doing it as well (it’s not problematic there, either). Identifying any single Brave user based on the referral was impossible, because all Brave users were using the same referral link – so this was never a privacy issue. This was the sole purpose of the referral – it allowed partner websites to see that you are using Brave and to count you as such. Since those Brave partners advertised themself on the New Tab Page (in case you have that turned on), they wanted to know how successful their campaign was, so they had an inherent interest to differentiate Brave users from the myriad of users that use the majority browser Google Chrome. One solution would be to change the user agent (the string identifying the browser) for the few websites in question OR you can use a referral to the same effect. Now, in order to distinguish Brave users from Chrome users, you have to find a solution.
What was the purpose of the referral? Brave usually identifies itself as Google Chrome before websites for web compatibility reasons (a few websites exclude alternative browsers which do not provide mainstream user agents). Now, in the incident this guy described, when a user typed in, for example, Brave added a referral link of their own to the URL and offered this as the first suggestion out of a list of suggestions. One of those partners is Binance, but there are others as well. They mention their partners on their website. This is not directed against you, just know that I no longer feel inclined to dive into this topic as deep as I used to, because in general it’s just a nuisance at this point for me.īrave has several websites it partners with, those usually populate the sponsored New Tab Pages with their logos, in case you have those turned on. Let me preface this by saying that I am somewhat tired and annoyed regarding this bit of FUD, because I have explained the real situation a dozens of times (literally) on gHacks already. Unfortunately, this guy, David Gerard, doesn’t have the slightest clue what he is talking about.
