Comment on PrivacyGuides@Lemmy.one: What are benefits for using privacy friendly frontends for apps like Reddit and YouTube compared to accessing them and using UBlock Origin?

Ublock doesn’t stop (all/most) fingerprinting. A hosted frontend or instance can help protect against this vector of attack.

ublock doesn’t affect fingerprinting at all, that’s done in the browser.

  Specific blocklists are designed to block fingerprinting scripts. This can help, but it is better when done by the browser.
