Could you explain why? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Cookies and other ways of keeping a session upright are kept by the browser. So unless you're mad enough to copy cookies between devices, they prove you're on the same device. Using a password every time you log in, and letting your browser wipe everything on shutdown does not show websites wether you're on yhe same or another device. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] madargon@is-a.cat 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) @Boomkop3 @broken_chatbot Do you mean not keeping browser history actually makes big difference?
