@cyber_warrior76: Every systemd Linux distro ships with a hidden persistent ID — and Chrome reads it. Here's what /etc/machine-id is, what it reports, and how to stop it. #linux #cybersecurity #privacy #chrome #infosec

So I don't use chrome but the file is there and can be read by any app. Chrome is just the app that surfaced the problem. My question is that my browsers are installed by Flatpak. Would they have access to this file in /etc? I'm not home so I can't check.

if you installed systemd, you already had no interest in security or privacy or Unix

We all know Google makes Chrome. We all know Google is an ad company. Is anyone naive enough to think those two facts are not related?

There are benefits to having stable fingerprints too though.The problem isn’t the technology, it’s the laws.

Doesn't impact me. I am logged in to Gmail, so they can identify me anyway, regardless of the machine id. Just like any other website which can create cookies
