            Bug ID: 387549
           Summary: According to panopticlick 3.0 test does not protect
                    against trackers
           Product: konqueror
           Version: 5.0.97
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: webenginepart
          Assignee: konq-bugs@kde.org
          Reporter: Martin@Lichtvoll.de
  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 109187
  --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=109187&action=edit
konqueror with results of panopticlick 3.0 test

Choosing major as priority according to the elected privacy by default goal.

Despite proxy settings pointing to Privoxy, as well as Easylist+Easylist
Privacy, Easylist Germany, Fanboy List and quite some other lists enabled in
the ad blocker settings according to https://panopticlick.eff.org/ neither
Konqueror 17.08 nor Akregator 17.08 block trackers or protect against
fingerprinting:

# How to reproduce
- Tell Konqueror to use Qt Webengine (only offered renderer in my Debian
Unstable system)
- Activate Ad filter
- Activate EasyList Germany, ROList, Adblocklist.org, EasyPrivacy+EasyList,
ChinaList, AdblockRules.org, Czech List, Fanboy ´s List, Hackarus
anti-advertisment, Hackarus Anticounter, NLBlock or…
- … even activate *all* lists expect obvious duplicates
- For good measure optionally even tell it to use Privoxy as a proxy (However I
did not adapt the configuration of it, just using the default
- Call https://panopticlick.eff.org/
- Run the test

# Actual results
Test                                            Result
Is your browser blocking tracking ads?          ✗ no
Is your browser blocking invisible trackers?    ✗ no
Does your browser unblock 3rd parties that promise to honor Do Not Track?      
✗ no
Does your browser protect from fingerprinting?  ✗ no

It suggests me to install Privacy Badger. Which I can ´t and I won ´t, cause it
is easily fingerprintable as it learns what to block.

# Expected results
Konqueror / Akregator blocks trackers at least if being told to.

Or even better: Konqueror / Akregator block trackers *by default*.

# Recommendation
I strongly suggest into looking whether uBlock Origin would be adaptable to
Konqueror / Qupzilla/Falcon / Akregator. It does its job. It does its job well.
It is properly maintained. And I see no point in reinventing it.
