VMs are not a security or privacy tool, chud
just stop being retarded, change your user agent and prevent js fingerprinting bullshit
if you evaded on the sharty it'd be easy, but 4cuck is completely fucked in that regard because it won't work without JS
99% of all fingerprinting is done using JS, the rest is user agent, IP, tracking pixel, and thats basically all there is to it
a non-retard will rotate his UA and block tracking pixels while using proxies so you automatically evade detection, probably without even knowing it or intending it by just not being retarded
if you have js enabled tho, youre cucked and can do basically nothing about tracking, not even running a vm will help you
well, maybe if you disable virtualization but enjoy your 20 minute boot time and 0.005fps, or crashing/freezing when trying to start X11

>>4620
Explain like I'm retarded, though

>>4622
what exactly did you not understand?
js is remote code execution and allows jews to run code on your machine without you knowing what it does or without even consenting, you only have to open some website and boom they can run shit on your computer to fingerprint or hack you
"sandboxing" is riddled with security holes, probably left intentionally
js is a terrible programming language that has been designed in 10 DAYS, now its shitting up the entire internet
for example, lets compare 2 programs that do the same thing
one is written in JS the other one is written in C++
take element, a dogshit matrix client
its slow as fuck, especially on older computers
its remote code execution garbage and has telemetry bullshit baked into it
its unusable and you HAVE to use a mouse to fucking click clock here or there and click on the fucking message bar to write something after switching rooms because "hey fuck you we dont care about our shit being usable!"
oh yeah and it doesnt even have all the cool shit that is in the matrix spec such as custom emotes (embedding pngs into a text message)
no, instead they have other gay shit that isnt fully implemented in the spec yet called 'stickers' where you need to use some gay integration manager bullshit (also centralized, defaulting to vector.im israeli spyware and a pain in the ass to set up, no custom stickers, etc)
oh and you cant embed them into a text message either so just send a normal fucking png file you retard its literally the same thing
OH WAIT!
its a pain in the ass to do anything in element including uploading a file, NICE!
well enough ranting, now take a look at https://git.dec05eba.com/QuickMedia
it eats 100 megs ram, 95 of them being for openGL (xrender is planned dont worry, itll eat 5 megs at most) while element eats like 600 because you have to open a motherfucking web browser to use it
its very fast and responsive, doesnt need a fucking mouse (and in fact completely ignores mouse input lol), and actually has sane keybinds
it doesnt randomly freeze or eat up 99% of your cpu, and its LITERALLY USING if else if else if else if else TO CHECK FOR KEYBOARD INPUT
it has nearly zero optimization and no native olm encryption support (yet, its planned), but did implement gpg over night as a joke while completely MOCKING elements slow buggy broken olm garbage
>unable to decrypt lolol fuck you cant fix this make a new room chud
this is just ONE comparison of JS and literally any other non-garbage programming language, and programs written in those.
pick ANY other good language (C, zig, literally fucking lua or bash) and you will see that it works and isnt slow broken fucking garbage
you dont even need to know what youre doing or optimize your shit, you just need to stop picking retarded languages, frameworks, or libraries
oh yeah and i forgot to mention, quickmedia is pure C++ with native X11 and openGL, no gtk/qt gay cancer shit to deal with.
tl;dr disable js, its garbage, slows down your computer, is a HUGE MASSIVE FUCKING backdoor, and is only used for tracking and serving you ads, and by people who are too mentally retarded to write HTML. (webdevs, aka soydevs)
and DONT EVEN get me started on python...

>>4623
I mean how do I change my user agent and pixels? What's virtualization?

>>4671
>UA
about:config
make a new entry
general.useragent.override
and set it to something like
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/111.0
something common
also note that this can cause issues with JS malware bullshit and some html/html5 that relies on specific chrome functions or firefuck functions, or even OS specific functions if you set it to something different than what youre actually using, so try to stick to firefuck as user agent if you have problems
4cuck captcha and cuckflare always cries about it from what i heard
https://en.ryte.com/wiki/Tracking_Pixel
there are addons for firefuck to get rid of tracking pixels
virtualization is a VM thing, it allows you to run a VM more or less on bare metal, your real hardware
which means its only semi emulated and actually runs smooth without hanging the shit out of your computer despite it having 128 cores and 64 gigs of ram
this is a good thing for performance and actually making VMs usable, but also a bad thing for security since your shit runs on your real hardware
go play around with qemu a bit, you can enable kvm (virtualization) with the -enable-kvm flag, or just leave it off if you prefer lagging shit and security
you can also emulate specific hardware in qemu like lets say a pentium 3 or some specific gpu/soundcard, that doesnt run on your real hardware

>>4679
Addons such as? Thanks for the help again

>>4692
no clue because i dont care about tracking pixels, but ask firefox's extension 'store'

>>4620
Ok but wouldn't a vm fool the fingerprinting since it's not your machine, but a virtual machine therefore it can't track your main computer therefore can be used as a security/privacy tool.

How do I deal with fingerprinting without disabling javashit? It breaks sites and I'm not ready to use the internet entirely without it

>>4721
its impossible, anyone who tries to cope only copes and makes it harder for script kiddies to track you, but you can never prevent it to 100%
that is, unless you carefully review every single script by hand and whitelist it manually before running it, and not allowing any dynamically modifying shit
cuckflare will always fuck you over
kuz will always fuck you over, or i guess doll now since kuz got aids (rip)
>>4701
script kiddies maybe, but it will be detected that you run a vm if you have hardware acceleration/virtualization turned on, and your host hardware will be detected as well (that means screen res and refresh rate, gpu, cpu, ram, etc...)
your best bet is to get a spare thinkpad just for that, and of course use proxies (globally, encapsuling the entire browser and everything else into it, never letting anything go around the proxies)
ideally do this with your router or some shit, having proxies configured in your browser settings might still let js fuck around with you if whoever targets you knows what hes doing
most script kiddies dont, and i dont know if doll does, but CIA niggers most likely do.

>>4729
Then how do I disable javashit without ruining everything on the internet?

>>4679
>useragent override
I did that now but my fingerprint remains the same.
