Update privacy.js - Wider Range #803
Conversation
Can you please give the user a wider range of time to choose from, and leave it up to them what they set it at because, 15 seems quite a high minimum. Thanks

Spoof user agent doesn't work so hot anyways. Fails https://browserleaks.com/javascript I don't think it changes platform either which is critical since it makes iffy websites throw the wrong exploits at you. Certainly doesn't work in an iframe like all of the other extensions I've tried. |

@forkoz If you are correct then uMatrix doesn’t seem like a viable replacement for Random Agent Spoofer. |

No replacement for RAS on chrome, sadly. No ras on FF when they use web extensions only. Also no proper UA spoofing on chrome at all. Maybe rubber glove still works but it breaks too many sites. Someone will have to write one. The most comical is when they replace navigator.useragent but don't do platform or appversion. Umatrix isn't really a UA spoofer tho, its more of a web requests firewall. There are some auto cookie deleting extensions on chrome, they aren't 100% SDC but close enough. The one I tried was https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookie-autodelete/fhcgjolkccmbidfldomjliifgaodjagh?hl=en |

I haven’t found a RAS replacement with a UI on FF yet but, uMatrix may be an ok replacement for Self-Destructing Cookies because, it supports local storage, cash and cookie clearing. I tried cookie-autodelete but, theres only cookie support and it’s a bit buggy although, it does have notifications which uMatrix doesn’t. |

UA agent will go soon, it's a toy feature which has no value in uMatrix. A real dedicated UA switcher which offers more control than uMatrix is what is best, and in case of fingerprinting concerns, the current UA switcher in uMatrix makes things worst. |
