在线跟踪器是侵入性的，因为它们跟踪我们的数字足迹，其中许多是敏感的，当随着时间的推移汇总时，它们可以帮助推断我们生活方式和习惯的复杂细节。虽然已经进行了大量的研究，以了解桌面平台的现有对策的有效性，很少有人知道如何移动的浏览器已经发展到处理在线跟踪器。随着移动的设备现在产生更多的网络流量比他们的桌面同行，我们填补了这一研究空白，通过大规模的比较分析移动的网络浏览器。我们从真实的移动的设备上的Tranco列表中抓取10 K个有效网站。我们的数据收集过程涵盖了流行的通用浏览器（例如，Chrome、Firefox和Safari）以及注重隐私的浏览器（例如，Brave、Duck Duck Go和Firefox-Focus）。我们使用运行时执行跟踪的动态分析和源代码的静态分析，突出入侵指纹的跟踪行为。我们还发现了为不同浏览器提供定制内容的证据。特别是，我们注意到Firefox Focus可以看到更改的脚本代码，而Brave和Duck Duck Go具有高度相似的内容。为了测试浏览器的隐私保护，我们测量每个浏览器在阻止跟踪器和广告商方面的反应，并注意隐私浏览器的优势和劣势。为了建立基本事实，我们使用众所周知的阻止列表，包括EasyList，EasyPrivacy，Disconnect和WhoTracksMe，并发现Brave通常会阻止根据这些列表应该阻止的最高数量的内容。Focus对社交跟踪器的性能更好，Duck Duck Go限制了执行基于电子邮件跟踪的第三方跟踪器。
Online trackers are invasive as they track our digital footprints, many of which are sensitive in nature, and when aggregated over time, they can help infer intricate details about our lifestyles and habits. Although much research has been conducted to understand the effectiveness of existing countermeasures for the desktop platform, little is known about how mobile browsers have evolved to handle online trackers. With mobile devices now generating more web traffic than their desktop counterparts, we fill this research gap through a large-scale comparative analysis of mobile web browsers. We crawl 10K valid websites from the Tranco list on real mobile devices. Our data collection process covers both popular generic browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, and Safari) as well as privacy-focused browsers (e.g., Brave, Duck Duck Go, and Firefox-Focus). We use dynamic analysis of runtime execution traces and static analysis of source codes to highlight the tracking behavior of invasive fingerprinters. We also find evidence of tailored content being served to different browsers. In particular, we note that Firefox Focus sees altered script code, whereas Brave and Duck Duck Go have highly similar content. To test the privacy protection of browsers, we measure the responses of each browser in blocking trackers and advertisers and note the strengths and weaknesses of privacy browsers. To establish ground truth, we use well-known block lists, including EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Disconnect and WhoTracksMe and find that Brave generally blocks the highest number of content that should be blocked as per these lists. Focus performs better against social trackers, and Duck Duck Go restricts third-party trackers that perform email-based tracking.
