Is your browser reporting "home"? to who? why?

Post by galbi »

What if your beloved browser is sending "home" all kind of information about what you do in internet?
How to know?

I found very interesting this web (interesting, not necessary means to agree with all the author says):
https://digdeeper.neocities.org

Specially this: Lifting the veil - how to test browsers for spyware

If you are thinking in following the instructions there, (like I did), make sure you have Python version >= 3.6 or it wont work.

I've tested it in BusterDog, with the help of Pip and apt-get, a big bunch of packages are installed, you've been warned.

Hope it's useful.

Saludos.
