#Psylo #browser takes aim at digital #fingerprinting • The Register
Gotta keep 'em separated so the #marketers and #snoops can't come out and play
Psylo, which bills itself as a new kind of private web browser, debuted last Tuesday in Apple's App Store, one day ahead of a report warning about the widespread use of browser fingerprinting for #ad #tracking and #targeting.
It was a fortuitous coincidence.

I feel that the Psylo app is a complete nothingburger. Oh great, you implemented basic sandboxing. You didn't reinvent the wheel. Firefox has had that since 2017 with Container Tabs.
Plus it's not even open-source and costs a hefty subscription fee to use. The dev also claims WhatsApp (ya know, the app from the Facebook people) is more secure than Telegram. Definitely who I wanna trust with my security.
Just no.
Psylo browser puts each tab in its own "silo" with unique IP addresses and anti-fingerprinting tech. It's like witness protection for your browsing habits! 🕵️ At $99/year though, your wallet might need protection too.
I have no idea is the #psylo browser is worth $99/year, but I find it a bit suspicious that they register with Apple Subscriptions as "Annual" instead of their name. It took me a couple of minutes to find the entry to cancel.
Dear developers, if you offer x days of testing for free but want the subscription to start automatically after that and ask for payment before the x days start, I will simply delete your app immediately again.
