Google AdSense sets the _gads cookie to provide ad delivery or retargeting.

For starters, nothing is logged when you’re anonymously chatting in an OnionShare chat room, and your messages aren’t stored anywhere. The anonymous chat feature is so securely implemented that it leaves almost no traces. ![]() More than a year in the works, OnionShare 2.3 is finally here as the next major update to this awesome tool for anonymously sharing files or hosting websites as an onion service, and now also for anonymously chatting with friends or family, thanks to the end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) OnionShare chat room feature. My FF profile is on the RAMDisk and all FF session operations are quasi instantaneous.OnionShare, the open-source and cross-platform tool for securely and anonymously sharing files, hosting websites over the Tor network, has been updated to version 2.3, a major release with new features and improvements. I’d consider things differently, maybe/likely, if I had a slow connection speed. Not only for privacy but also for speed and no writing to disk (rather old “traditional” hard-disks here). What I mean is that another privacy approach can be that of enabling the disk cache and wiping its cache on Firefox exit.īut indeed I prefer the RAMDisk and no disk cache. Indeed with Disk cache disabled all is gone when exiting Firefox, “all” being what is included in the Disk cache IF Firefox’s ‘Clear History on exit’ doesn’t include the ‘Cache’. I guess you meant pages in general will load faster (especially once in the memory cache) except those which have been visited in previous session(s), given those have to be reloaded because not cached on the disk … For example, if you restart Firefox, previously visited pages or sites will load faster.” >”Maybe using a RAM disk is a better choice. If so, another good point compared to Firefox Send which was happy logging lots of things (a rule of thumb is to avoid Mozilla products anyway if privacy is a I’m assuming your comment refers to my above post where I mentioned the RAMDisk. Socket limits this additional technical information to the minimum required to operate the Services.” “Additional technical information is stored on our servers, including randomly generated authentication tokens, keys, push tokens, and other material that is necessary to establish connections and transmit files. It’s not clear if the following means that there is no IP address logging at all: ![]() Unfortunately I confirm the sentry.io connection, some sort of performance monitoring tracker that is rightly blocked in EasyPrivacy… “Wormhole promises that it does not display advertisement or will load trackers.”Īnother good point if true compared to Mozilla services, no Google Analytics threat and no Mozilla drone to explain to us that not wanting Google Analytics is misunderstanding privacy. The authors are known free software developers, one of them created WebTorrent. We plan to explore the limits of what web browsers can do – especially in terms of shifting computation to the client-side, to improve the security and privacy of web apps. “We started a company – Socket Inc – to bring end-to-end encryption to consumer and enterprise apps. Motivations are important for a project like that because even if it is supposed to be E2EE and therefore mostly trustless, it is E2EE *in a browser*, so not really E2EE, because their server resends the code every time the service is used and could send a maliciously modified code at any time, even the code was checked a first time. I contacted Wormhole but have yet to receive a reply.” The lack of a commercial option and the guarantee that ads or trackers are not implemented, leaves the question open at the time of writing. Then in that case it’s true that the recipient may see the IP address of the sender…
