Honestly. I think if tracking is disabled it should do the following:

anything screen dimension related including available height/width -> blocked (realistically java-script should never need to disclose this information outside of an internal function anyway)
User Agent: generalized (this usually already is the case)
Cookie status: kept the same as needed for functionality.
addon/plugin info: blocked
buildID: blocked
hardware concurrently: generalized instead of a set number (low end being request for permission by default

Like there are many steps that can be done to help mitigate fingerprinting, its just getting vendors to actually do it.

being said I had never known about the TLS fingerprinting option, I generally don’t see that shown on the fingerprint detector sites, that’s interesting.

Whether you respond as a 404 or a 403 would be dependent on whether or not the user who is logged in has the authorization to read the previous directory. A site administrator, for example, would have the authority to read the previous directory, which means that the site administrator would know whether or not the resource existed or not(as the previous directory would list it) so in which case a 404 would be proper. However, a user who doesn't have authority to read the previous directory should not have the ability to know whether or not it exists. so a 404 would not be proper here because the proper one would be a 403 because it's inherited from the previous directory. edit: changed traverse to read, as traversal doesn't mean you can see what else is there.

Generally speaking, unless you're using OAuth for an authentication, you would check your username and your password at the same time. It's just you wouldn't respond if either existed or not. You would just say invalid username and password combination. What gets really complicated is the hybrid SSO integrations where they use a username and then if the account has SSO enabled it then redirects you to the sign-in page, Otherwise, it brings you to a password field. Realistically what these sites should do to prevent that vulnerability would be to make it so you have to click a dedicated sign in with single sign on button. But not everyone does that type of flow. Granted, this also doesn't include sites that convert your user account into a user ID. And then for your password's table, only give a user ID. Those would require two queries or a join, regardless, because it's two separate data places. One to get the user Id and one to get the passwords

Not gonna lie back when websites had password hints that you could do. I used to put something like that where it wouldn't be the full password, but it would be either a part of the password or I would label it as same as computer password or something like that. God, I was so insecure when I was young.

I don't respect them because most instances a 403 is more than adequate for your security. The only time I agree with having a 404 over a 403 would be file-specific pathing, but realistically the entire file directory should be a 403 instead of a 404, And then if the user is authorized to access the resource(but it isn't there), then it gives a 404.

I don't believe they do. I'm pretty sure since its a soft fork and still has firefox as an upstream, that they would need the permission of any contributor that had agreed to the MPL license, and that would include the Mozilla project, and it's very unlikely that Mozilla would agree to that.

Oh, I fully understand that. But the everyday person isn't going to affect the government to the extent where they want to not only issue a court order ordering a company to do this, but also issue a gag order to prevent the company from saying anything. Political leaders, possibly. Terrorist organizers, definitely. But your typical protest, or right versus left debate, that's not going to be enough for them to bother, let alone a court order forcing it.

Is it safe enough to use vpns based out of the US?

yes, just be aware that the gov could require the company to log you without letting you know, even if they have a no log setup. For the everyday person this is a non-issue, but if you are doing shadey stuff or have ties that may make someone super interested in your activities, you may wanna choose elsewhere.

Before I go full tin foil hat on this theory, I want to know how they plan on making it so the signal is sent client side without the client being able to fake the signal. Like, this sounds like something that any type of OS that allows you to install a program will be able to bypass quite easily either by always sending the adult signal or never sending the adult signal Like reading the bill, they explicitly forbid any type of personally identifying information being transferred. It sounds like it’s just a DOB check and if you say you are > 13 or whatever age they have it as it sends a signal.

Yeah, I understand that point of view as well, especially for feature expansions. I don't agree with that point of view at all for bug reports /fixes though. It's not like I'm asking for an additional feature on top of the devs' already existing code. I'm fixing a mistake that the dev added to their code that they haven't had time to fix, I don't see the need of multi week or month review processes for those. But at the end of the day I tell myself that if the dev wanted help with the project they would have made the system easier and I just move on with my life. or if it's too much of a blocker or if it's a small change just fork the code myself if allowed, fix it and then never bother with the hassle of submitting it upstream.

I don't contribute to projects most of the time strictly due to the hurdles in place for contributions. if I see an issue with something, I would like to be able to properly fix it, not have to follow a multi month process to actually get it in The last project I wanted to contribute to had the following system: 1) make an account (makes sense, its a self hosted tracker) 1) verify my identity and specify what I wanted to do in a whole different project in order to get validated to be able to open issues in the tracker 1) open an issue stating that I found a problem 1) state in the issue that I was willing to fix said problem 1) agree to sign the code away if done 1) wait for response confirming that it was ok 1) fork the project 1) fix the issue on your fork 1) create test units for the project 1) submit a merge on the main project 1) wait weeks to months for the actual maintainer teams to review the fix and make suggestions/alterations 1) fix any merge conflicts that was created during the time that it took to review 1) rinse and repeat the last 2 steps until it's finally merged Luckily I had noticed that the timeframe of existing requests prior to doing it, and decided to pass on it. Don't get me wrong, a lot of those steps are necessary for proper development cycles but, it's the extra steps that are annoying. I'm looking to quickly contribute and move on. Too many steps or if the process seems like it will be a major pain in the butt = You can find and fix it yourself. Most projects if they have that I will at least open an issue for it so it's known as a problem... but some projects don't seem to want them reported, let alone fixed.

yea you have it yes, if they have confirmation that you had said evidence, and they were seizing the device to collect more evidence regarding it then it would be obstruction of justice and destroying evidence, but they need to be able to prove that claim. Unless they can prove that claim then it’s an unlawful search (excluding some form of law that they may have at port authorities)

The exact circumstances around the search—such as why CBP wanted to search the phone in the first place—are not known until this isn’t an unknown it’s impossible to voice opinion on the legality of this action. If they had evidence that there was something incriminating or against the law on the device and can prove the user intentionally destroyed the info to impede the investigation(honestly this last part is fairly easy as long as the first part can happen) then yea what he did would defo break the law, but until those aspects can be determined this seems like a massive abuse of that persons 1st(due to activism), 4th (due to the seizure of private property without a lawful search), and 5th(again private property) amendment rights.
