The article introduces Psylo, a privacy-focused iOS/iPadOS browser by Mysk that isolates each tab into a ‘silo’ with unique anti-fingerprinting measures and uses a private proxy network to mask IP addresses, aiming to thwart tracking more effectively than a VPN. It cites recent research indicating browser fingerprinting is actively used for ad tracking and can bypass GDPR/CCPA opt-outs, and notes Psylo’s minimal data retention practices and subscription pricing.
