i have an issue where google tracks me even using very private browsers and linux distros like tails and qubes and anti fingerprint

someone said it might be because of framework

how do i fix (is there a cheap option i dont care about inconveince or spending a lot of time it just has to work)

    How did you confirm that?

    My immediate thought is they’re just tracking your IP address, though Tor should’ve mitigated that I believe.

    I don’t see how a Framework laptop would be any different to any other.

    You can try some fingerprinting tests, and see what they find: https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

      invidious (private frontend for youtube) shows me videos related to things i watched before even if i delete my cookies/cache/use a new idenity. i tested it to be sure by watching videos i didnt care about. got recommeded the exact same channel and still have been getting it even on other devices that i didnt use but google knows theyre mine (normal guy ios with safari) ive tried anti fingerprinting stuff the websites say im generic but i look at invidious and nothing has improved (i dont log in to invidious or youtube)

      someone said framework had a backdoor (i didnt confirm) and ive tried to be private but nothing else is working so its one of the last things i can try

      thanks for the comment it boosts this post
