Psylo’s Privacy Promise: The Browser That Leaves Fingerprinters Empty-Handed
Psylo, the new private web browser, debuts just as a report highlights the pervasive use of browser fingerprinting for ad tracking. With unique anti-fingerprinting measures, Psylo isolates tabs into “silos,” making each visit appear as if from different devices. Psylo aims to outsmart trackers and protect user privacy.
Hot Take:
Well, isn’t Psylo just the little browser that could? It’s like the digital version of those “Do Not Disturb” signs you hang on your hotel room door, only with more encryption and less chance of being ignored by housekeeping. Move over, VPNs, there’s a new privacy sheriff in town, and it’s isolating tabs like a lonely kid at summer camp. Yeehaw!
Key Points:
- Psylo is a new browser that isolates tabs to combat browser fingerprinting.
- Launched by Mysk, it uses anti-fingerprinting measures like canvas randomization.
- Researchers show browser fingerprinting is used for ad tracking.
- Psylo uses a private proxy network to mask IP addresses.
- Psylo is available on iOS and iPadOS, with a possible Android version in the future.
