🚀 Key Changes in v0.0.6-3

1. Refactored Anti-Fingerprinting Engine

  • GeckoView Native RFP
    Fully transitioned to GeckoView’s built-in Resist Fingerprinting engine for:

    • Screen metrics
    • Canvas
    • WebGL
    • Timezone
  • Removed Aggressive JS Spoofing
    Eliminated heavy DOM/API patching from content.js that caused:

    • Cross-realm JS conflicts
    • Random site breakages
  • Privacy Patches
    Only minimal patches retained for Android-specific leaks:

    • hardwareConcurrency
    • Audio buffer entropy

2. Privacy-Safe Analytics (Opt-Out)

  • What Gets Collected

    • App installs
    • Daily app opens
    • Open streaks
  • Zero Fingerprinting

    • No device IDs
    • No IP tracking
    • No browsing data
  • User Control

    • “Share Anonymous Analytics” toggle in settings
    • Fully opt-out capable

Basically: useful metrics without betrting privacy(and yes, i needed it to see if anyone cares or not)

5. UI, Lag & Bug Fixes

  • Tab Hierarchy Fix in MultiTabView

  • Resource Handling Fix
    Removed hardcoded PC paths (that was my mistake, my bad) → switched to:

    • R.drawable.ic_launcher_playstore
  • Performance Improvements

    • Reduced redundant background tasks
