How your browser is snitching on you and how you can take control

With data now being "the new digital currency", knowing what data we share is more important than it was ever before.

The browsers we use every day reveal much more information than we would think when visiting websites. This makes it easy for websites to uniquely identify us as visitors, even without a login. Trying to protect ourselves against this could even make it easier for websites to identify us, which is a big dilemma.

This talk is about what the different browsers reveal to the websites we visit and what we can (or cannot) do about it.

After discussing this topic with various people, I've found that most are shocked to learn how much information their browser reveals without their knowledge. Privacy should be transparent, but browsers often keep users in the dark about the data they share with websites. This talk aims to raise awareness, empowering users to decide what data to share and advocating for more granular browser controls. By understanding the data your browser leaks, you can better protect your privacy and push for a more secure online experience.
