From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

When you log into google, no matter what privacy tech you use? Google knows who you are.

Why are you not blocking ads?

It sounds like what you want is a canvas-blocker addon for your webbrowser. Stop the fingerprinting.

With a VPN and anti-fingerprinting, you're so much more anonymous! Expect a LOT more captchas. Captchas that glitch and make you start over frequently.

Cool! Let's get you a "canvas blocker" for anti fingerprinting. It'll be a browser add-on.
