I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it gives my exact GPU, but that was surprising to me. Just so everyone knows, its an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and I paid way too much for it during the covid/crypto price explosion when they were sold out everywhere. Still a bit raw about that, but it is an excellent card on Linux (fedora)

#22* It's running a kind of Chrome on a kind of Linux, at a stretch.
* Nobody can infer when I work and when I sleep. That includes me.
* The recent, high-end display is the screen of a low-end tablet I bought in a supermarket five years ago.
* But yes, browser fingerprinting is annoying.
* Since you can detect light mode, would it kill you to honor it?

#24With javascript off it just stalls at "reading" forever. There are certainly some viewport properties and other things it does know even without JS execution, but the mitigation is significant. And the page itself (the JS application) cannot act on that data or communicate it. Instead it has to be processed by some other application on the backend or wherever. Not in my browser by my computer.
I can't help feeling that if you're turning JS off, you might as well turn off your computer to protect your data.

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
"Your graphics processor identified itself as or similar" guess mine isn't such a specific model as yours. so I don't have a real GPU, i have something similar to a GPU??? did I get a knock off Alibaba version?
I got "or similar" from Firefox and exact make and model from chrome. Probably a browser issue and not a hardware issue.

Oh wait, no, I'm an e-addict. Drat! Curse this monkey!

#28It’s been a long time my 2016’ iPhone as been called recent or high-end but I’ll take the compliment, thank-you.
