• Best way to set up a risky blog?

  First of all, don't use AI for a picture or lie about who you are. Just post under a pseudonym, while making it clear that yes, it is a pseudonym. Giving a human touch to it is a nice idea, but if it gets found out - which it might be - people will immediately distrust what you say. Second, you probably have two major concerns: hosting and staying anonymous. Hosting is relatively easy, and there's a surprisingly... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• The /unblock API from Browserless: dodging bot detection as a service

  I'm sure that happens, but I haven't done any work with gyro data myself. There's similar logic for mouse cursor movements, there are libraries out there that will generate a natural looking curve that moves the cursor from one position to another, with imperfections that emulate human hand movement. > Why do we even need an actual device? We can emulate if we even need to and set our headers to look like we're... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Best Alternatives to Brave that randomize fingerprints right out of the bat?

  I tried bunch of others recently - like Epic, Floorp, Vivaldi or even Ghostery.
