Tor Browser’s Latest Update Could Get You Fingerprinted...

In this video, I explain a major shift in the Tor Browser’s privacy architecture and why it’s a serious problem for anyone who values anonymity. With the release of Tor Browser 14.5, developers permanently removed the OS spoofing feature. This core safeguard made all users appear to be running Windows, regardless of their operating system. This feature was critical in reducing entropy and making users harder to be fingerprinted through HTTP headers, especially when JavaScript was disabled. By stripping this out, Tor users on less common systems like Qubes, BSD, or hardened Linux distros are far easier to track across sessions, even when using safest mode. I explain how metadata works, how fingerprinting narrows down identities using simple attributes, and why this change disproportionately impacts privacy-conscious users who do everything else right. ☆-----☆-----☆-----☆-----☆ CHAPTERS ☆-----☆-----☆-----☆-----☆ 00:00 Intro 00:28 The Feature That Was Removed 01:04 Why OS Spoofing Mattered for Anonymity 02:01 How Metadata Narrows Identity 03:03 Quantifying Entropy Reduction 04:00 Real-World Example of Spoofing’s Value 04:56 The History of Tor’s OS Spoofing Removal 06:03 Developer Justifications and Rebuttals 07:00 Why the Logic Behind Removal Is Flawed 08:00 Final Kill Switch: Code Base Deleted 09:02 Ignored Warnings from Security Contributors 10:00 Misleading Entropy Claims and Flawed Assumptions 11:00 Rare OS Users Now Fully Exposed 12:01 JavaScript + Headers Now Match 13:14 Impact on Fingerprinting Precision 14:01 Removing Layers Makes Tracking Easier 15:28 Spoofing Used to Be Your Last Line of Defense 16:36 Fingerprinting in “Safest Mode” Now Possible 17:44 How Tails and Whonix Still Protect You 19:00 Why Tails/Whonix Are Different from Qubes/BSD 20:46 Real Mitigations You Can Still Use 21:54 Final Thoughts: Trust, Threat Models, and the Future ☆-----☆-----☆-----☆-----☆ SOCIAL MEDIA ☆-----☆-----☆-----☆-----☆ 🎙️ Podcast: https://rss.com/podcasts/darknet/ 🌐 Official Website: https://www.doingfedtime.com 🌐 Official Website Mirror: https://www.sambent.com 📘 Facebook:   / theofficialsambent   🐦 Twitter/X:   / doingfedtime   💼 LinkedIn:   / sam-bent   📧 Email: [email protected] 📱 TikTok:   / theofficialsambent   📚 Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sam-Ben... 🌐 Dread (Onion Link): http://dreadytofatroptsdj6io7l3xptbet... 🌐 Pitch (Onion Link): http://pitchprash4aqilfr7sbmuwve3pnkp... 🐙 GitHub: https://github.com/DoingFedTime 👾 Reddit (User Account):   / reservesteel9   📽️ Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/DoingFedTime 🛡️ Breach Forums (Onion Link): http://breached26tezcofqla4adzyn22not... 📸 Instagram:   / sambentoffical   📌 Pinterest:   / doingfedtime   ☆-----☆-----☆-----☆-----☆ LEGAL STUFF☆-----☆-----☆-----☆-----☆ The information provided in this video is intended for educational purposes only.
