#60: Firefox: Don't increase fingerprint by adding "Fedora" to user agent -------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: genodeftest | Owner: Status: new | Priority: minor Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------- Comment (by misc): Sure, we need more to do a proper protection, but if we can't even do the simpler change because we prefer easing the tracking of users by a 3rd party that give us metrics (even if that 3rd party is wikipedia), it really send the message that privacy is not a priority at all. And the example of ISP sponsoring Fedora is a bit curious. Either they sponsor hosting, so websites under the control of Fedora team (and so, sharing logs seems to be against the privacy policy, so I suspect we don't). Or they sponsor a mirror, and I suspect they already have the path of downloaded file, and it is quite obvious that Fedora rpms and artefacts are downloaded by Fedora users, so we do not need specific tracking in curl or firefox for that. Also, where where theses requests for tracking made, cause I didn't see that in the tickets, but I get lot of mails, so I may have missed it. I would be quite interested to see if their requests are in line with European laws, and act in accordance to it. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/60#comment:11> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.
