Bromite version

Version: 78.0.3904.72
Arch: arm64
Android version: 9.0
Device model: HTC U11 plus

Is this bug about the SystemWebView?
No

Is the bug reproducible with latest version?
Yes

Can the bug be reproduced with corresponding Chromium version?
No

Is the bug a crash?
No

Describe the bug

With previous versions of Bromite, I could login to the Sony PSN website but with the current version it doesn't work anymore. I enter my username and password and click on login and get an error message. (see previously attached screenshot) I tried the stock Chrome and downloaded Firefox as well as Chromium and the login works in these three, just Bromite causes this issue. I guess there is a security option/setting in Bromite which prevents the login but so far I could not find any option or setting which could cause it.

Is there any way to find out what option/setting is blocking the login?

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://id.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/signin/
  2. Enter username / password and click on Sign In
  3. See error

Expected behavior

It should log someone in, instead giving an error message, just like in Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, etc.

@HigH-HawK have you tried disabling the ad blocker?

@csagan5 I disabled the AdBlocker and tried it again but unfortunately without success.

@HigH-HawK please connect your device to a desktop Chrome following https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/remote-debugging

Then you can see in the console the errors

I have done this now and saw one error in the Console:

POST https://auth.api.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/2.0/ssocookie 403 (Forbidden)

So if I'm not mistaken, it looks like a required cookie cannot be set?

@HigH-HawK my conclusion is that they use browser fingerprinting. It's a violation of GDPR so anybody in EU can sue them for it.

You can try telling them that browser fingerprinting is a violation of privacy and anyways not a good/smart thing to do from the perspective of browser use, but I doubt they will do anything about it.

I see! This also shows, that none of the other tested browser are protecting the user from fingerprinting. I will get in touch with Sony and see if and what they say about this. I do however agree with you, that they are not going to do anything about it.

Thanks for your help.

@HigH-HawK in next release you can use two chrome://flags flags to disable two types of anti-fingerprinting countermeasures, but it might not be sufficient in this specific case and in general I would stay away from websites which require fingerprinting.

@csagan5 Thanks for the info, I'll be happy to test it though. I also contacted Sony, just need to be patient now and see what they are going to say about it.

Thanks again for your help

With the new release 78.0.3904.93 and disabling the flag chrome://flags/#fingerprinting-canvas-measuretext-noise the login to the PSN network works again.

I contacted Sony about this but have not had any response so far (pretty sure I will never get any response either).
