i have an issue where google tracks me even using very private browsers and linux distros like tails and qubes and anti fingerprint
someone said it might be because of framework
how do i fix (is there a cheap option i dont care about inconveince or spending a lot of time it just has to work)
in the settings it says it proxies.
I assume you mean the settings within the instance (or more accurately, your session) of Invidious states that it proxies the activity. However, if you’re just referring to Invidious itself, this is a setting that can be enabled/disabled for the entire Invidious instance. The instance’s default setting could also be disabled even if the instance supports proxying. Regardless, you could verify Invidious is proxying everything by reviewing the networking tab of your browser’s developer tools to confirm that all traffic is with your Invidious instance.
Given everything you said, it sounds like any recommendations you receive within Invidious is most likely due to the collective activity of all users on that Invidious instance. Additionally, any recommendations you receive directly on YouTube is likely from other information YouTube collected about you (not your Invidious activity).
While I cannot definitely confirm that this has absolutely nothing to do with Framework, I cannot imagine anyone knowledgeable about this arguing in good faith that Framework is complicity and secretly acting to violate your privacy.
i dont believe framework is intentionally trying to violate my privacy. much less me very specifically.
if the recommendations are collective id imagine id see videos other people are interested in. Ill have to test this later on someone elses device
