What's really important to work with Reddit?
Reddit uses the following primary data collection methods when visiting main and subreddit pages:
1. UserAgent – information about your browser (requested each time the page is loaded).
2. Platform – information about your operating system.
3. Screen – device screen parameters.
4. Connection – your connection type (Wi-Fi, mobile Internet, etc.). This parameter is most often used for advertising.
Additionally, Reddit may ask for the following parameters, but this happens less frequently:
1. DoNotTrack – privacy settings in the browser.
2. Language – browser language.
3. Plugins – information about plugins installed in the browser.
Conclusions:
WebRTC – Disabling or enabling this setting makes no difference to Reddit. The setting is useless.
WebGL – also does not affect interaction with the platform.
When does this happen?
A Canvas request occurs in the following cases:
- When interacting with sliders in settings (eg NSFW).
- When moving between profile tabs such as Overview and Posts .
Canvas is used to obtain a unique device fingerprint to authenticate you and track interactions.
Why is Canvas noise controversial?
If you add noise to Canvas, it can:
1. Lead to rendering inconsistencies that may raise suspicions on Reddit.
2. Make your fingerprint more visible and unique, which is contrary to the principle of camouflage.The Right Approach to Canvas
To correctly replace Canvas, you need to:
1. Get the code that is used to draw the Canvas.
2. Configure your anti-detect browser so that Canvas is rendered identically to how your device does it.If you are not confident in your Canvas spoofing skills, it is better to leave this setting unchanged .
