Canvas Fingerprinting and its Repercussion Ideally, the websites identify your browser by referring to the cookie, which is a temporary token like element with your recent browsing trends. However, the Canvas fingerprinting tracks and identifies visitors by using HTML5 canvas element instead of the traditional browser cookies.

The way in which Mozilla Firefox has used memory has changed over the years, improving from one version to another. Firefox 3, 3.5 and 3.6 were considerable enhancement over Firefox 2. But when Mozilla released Firefox 4, it kind of regressed, instead of improving, mainly due to a large number of new features and to Java script. As to overcome the shortcomings, Mozilla aimed to improve Firefox’s speed and stability by reducing memory usage and released MemShrink....

A Reddit user has unearthed the Partial Screenshot commit code in the Android Nougat 7.1 AOSP. Since the commit has already been added to the Master Branch of Android it is most likely that this feature is on its way and we will be able to use in in the imminent Nougat updates. The Redditor was able to activate the feature by Changing the code in the 53 line of TakeSceenshotService and thus was able to activate the feature in what seems to be a Nexus 4 device running a version of NitrogenOS ROM....

On a blog post, Haschek says that he analyzed 443 top free proxies (of which 199 are available as online services), and found a mere 21 percent of them to be “not shady.” In his study, Haschek notes that 33 proxy servers modified static HTML pages to inject ads. In simpler words, say you visit TechPP.com using any such proxy, you won’t see the ads official admins of TechPP had put on the website, but you will see ads that are injected by those proxy services....

Go ahead access the new Google History webpage and you will be able to see there your entire search history, download it or choose to remove it.

One other device that was presented at MWC 2013 by ASUS was the Fonepad, which, I’m sad to say, it didn’t impress too much. I find it ridiculous to talk with such a big device, unless you use wireless headphones. From the get-go, the ASUS Fonepad looked like a Nexus 7 or like the Asus MeMo Pad but with a face lift. We (technology journalists) might perceive the differences between these 7-inchers but there’s a high risk that consumers will judge only by the final selling price....

Most smartphone image editors—built-in or third-party—offer the ability to watermark photos. If you use an iPhone, you can watermark your photos using either the built-in Photos app or some third-party image editor. We’ll go over each of these methods in this guide to help you watermark photos on the iPhone....

Well, actually, there is. But you would need an app for that. The app is called Metapho and is available for free download from the iTunes App Store. Its main job is to display EXIF data or metadata of a photograph. In simple terms, this is information about the photograph such as ISO, name of the camera, aperture, shutter speed, focal length and so on and so forth. This information is not of any great use to social-media-snappers but photography enthusiasts love to analyze this information to figure out what goes into making a great photograph – and it definitely is very useful if you are the type that likes to take photographs in manual mode, changing different settings, instead of just pointing and shooting in auto mode....
