Bug ID: 387549 Summary: According to panopticlick 3.0 test does not protect against trackers Product: konqueror Version: 5.0.97 Platform: Debian unstable OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: webenginepart Assignee: konq-b...@kde.org Reporter: mar...@lichtvoll.de Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 109187 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=109187&action=edit konqueror with results of panopticlick 3.0 test Choosing major as priority according to the elected privacy by default goal. Despite proxy settings pointing to Privoxy, as well as Easylist+Easylist Privacy, Easylist Germany, Fanboy List and quite some other lists enabled in the ad blocker settings according to https://panopticlick.eff.org/ neither Konqueror 17.08 nor Akregator 17.08 block trackers or protect against fingerprinting: # How to reproduce - Tell Konqueror to use Qt Webengine (only offered renderer in my Debian Unstable system) - Activate Ad filter - Activate EasyList Germany, ROList, Adblocklist.org, EasyPrivacy+EasyList, ChinaList, AdblockRules.org, Czech List, Fanboy´s List, Hackarus anti-advertisment, Hackarus Anticounter, NLBlock or… - … even activate *all* lists expect obvious duplicates - For good measure optionally even tell it to use Privoxy as a proxy (However I did not adapt the configuration of it, just using the default - Call https://panopticlick.eff.org/ - Run the test # Actual results Test Result Is your browser blocking tracking ads? ✗ no Is your browser blocking invisible trackers? ✗ no Does your browser unblock 3rd parties that promise to honor Do Not Track? ✗ no Does your browser protect from fingerprinting? ✗ no It suggests me to install Privacy Badger. Which I can´t and I won´t, cause it is easily fingerprintable as it learns what to block. # Expected results Konqueror / Akregator blocks trackers at least if being told to. Or even better: Konqueror / Akregator block trackers *by default*. # Recommendation I strongly suggest into looking whether uBlock Origin would be adaptable to Konqueror / Qupzilla/Falcon / Akregator. It does its job. It does its job well. It is properly maintained. And I see no point in reinventing it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
