When: Wednesday 03/30 3PM EDT

Where: https://communitybridge.com/privacyworkshop

access code is: privacytrust

Join us on Wednesday 3/30 to learn how the industry tracks you online so they can profile and predict your digital life. We’ll tell you about:

– Methods used by websites and apps to identify you

– Fingerprints of browsers and devices, and how you can see yours

– Ideas for concealing your identity on the internet

– Tools you can use to to that

We’ll also show a short video of standard (Chrome, Firefox) and privacy-friendly (Brave) browsers being tested against a fingerprinting web site.

Prerequisites:

– A BBB-compatible browser (for best results, run it on a computer with enough screen space)

– Another standard browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari) on any gadget (try it with a separate internet connection if you can)

– A privacy-friendly browser (Brave, Waterfox, DuckDuckGo) on one of the above devices. You can download Brave at <https://brave.com>.

If you want to share your screen, you’ll have to run BBB and the other browser on the same computer.
