In the sense that it proxies traffic through the cloud, almost. The target websites won't see your IP address (although I could add a X-Forwarded-For header passing the origin address like archive.is does: http://archive.is/faq - cloudbrowser.website does not currently do this), or other details of your web browser environment.

Almost all metadata is not transferred through. There are two exceptions I can think of:

1) Browser window size. This is actually a significant fingerprinting leak, since desktop users can resize the dimensions of their browser down to the pixel.Cloud Browser uses it to generate an appropriately-sized image, matching the Chrome instance in the cloud to the end-user's browser. Less of a problem with mobile devices where the browser window is fixed, but could help fingerprint the device type.

If you want to avoid this, disabling JavaScript will prevent Cloud Browser from using window.innerWidth, innerHeight, and devicePixelRatio, and it will default to 800x600x1. This may not match your device. The best way to solve this is probably to run your own Cloud Browser instance, configured for what you will browse it from.

Interestingly, Firefox is implementing a "letterboxing" feature, from TorBrowser, to reduce fingerprinting from this technique: https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2019/03/08/firefox-browser-...

2) Time of access. The time Cloud Browser accesses a website will be shortly after the end-user accesses the website, as you would expect from a proxy. Could allow some forms of fingerprinting, e.g. work hours, depending your browsing habits, or correlating with other non-cloud website accesses.

If you are concerned about this, Cloud Browser makes it very easy to share the cached pages offline, in a time-independent manner. That is, you can access the files in cache/ offline as needed. The online browser will try to load from the cache first, but automatically refresh with a live version when it is available. But you could setup a cron job to fetch the websites you commonly visit on a fixed schedule, then only browse through the cache while offline, and then websites wouldn't be able to see when you read them.

I've thought about developing this feature further, it could lead to a better user experience, and avoid some of the problems with running Cloud Browser on a VPS. The VPS would be needed for running headless Chrome, but it could upload the static HTML and images as plain files to any static hosting website, for quick and easy browsing. You would need to "subscribe" to the websites you want to visit, and they would have to be periodically refreshed, however.
