This volume requires JavaScript. That is part of the point — your browser is what is being read.
Looks like I’m safe
Turning off JS doesn’t protect you from being FPd
Sure helps a lot
Thanks for sharing, I was already using a decent anti-fingerprinting browser (Fennec) but the fact that it gave away my timezone made me research a bit more and I’m now on IronFox, which has a toggle to spoof it, and reports a fake screen resolution. Great! I’m now unique on coveryourtracks though
My jaw dropped when I read the what angle my device is being held at, how many times I scrolled and tapped, what my position is!!!
How is this even legal?!
I always thought they just took my location, my device name etc. I had no idea it’s this deep.
I wonder, do phones have 6dof tracking (space + rotation) or 3dof tracking (just rotations)
because if it’s 3dof I’m calling bullshit on some of this.
I have 7 3dof fullbody trackers for vrchat (cough cough !VRChat@sh.itjust.works cough cough) and they’re so damn inconsistent and need to constantly be ready to be calibrated to line up with what your body is actually doing. Having 1 3dof device can definitely detect walking or swinging, no shot it can tell if you’re in bed or on a couch
It told me I was likely sitting while I was sitting at my dining table. I assume if your phone is angled more towards the ground it would say you’re in bed.
Probably if its tilted to the side but still reporting a tall display.
Only 50% correct in my case (similar to Browserleaks), correct the OS, Screenresolution, Country but wrong site, wrong even the ISP
Site might be linked to the node of your ISP
How many points of identification are needed to positively ID you? Something like 35 IIRC according to Cover Your Tracks/EFF? Might be remembering wrong 🤔
“31 data points”
Hell yeah! i is ghost.
It identified my many-years-old phone with “360x760 pixels rendered at 3x density” screen as “recent, high-end display”. Bitch, this wasn’t even high-end when I bought it. It was small, it was cheap, it was barely “recent” when I bought it.
It shows me the time for Reykjavik after identifying the city and country correctly.
I hit it with Firefox and it gave 24 points. Firefox refused to disclose my battery level. But did give it my angular geometry.
I opened it in Brave and it lied about my screen resolution and colored up my fonts, my battery. It refused to give up my angular geometry.
Why the hell doesn’t firefox just include some of those white lies?
central europe, maybe its due to architecture the isp has wifi access points around the city and people connect to them
back when it was starting there wasnt even isolation between clients, we used to send random shit to printers on the network as kids
fingerprint.com is an actual tracking company, while the front page doesn’t show what it knows it shows weather it has seen you before.
You can setup browsers to randomize fingerprints (tor does this automatically) so while your browser fingerprint is almost always unique you can see if it changes enough so it doesn’t recognise you across accesses.
It already got my location very wrong.
Why did it get my GPU wrong?
AI generated code will just substitute bullshit if it can’t get you the right answer
This ones my fave: https://amiunique.org/fingerprint
It shows the percentages of people who use your same browser features (called similarity ratios), and can determine whether you’re unique in their dataset. Can help for tweaking browser settings to try to make yourself not unique.
I like clickclickclick.click
I am a unique signiture but it also got my OS wrong and couldn’t get my time zone
Y’all I think I won privacy
Yay, I’m completely unique! I won!
Wait a minute
TIL LibreWolf randomizes some fingerprinting targets.
Yes and it will appear unique every time because every visit is using a different combination.
You’ll be unique be less trackable.
i used to think that firefox on linux and as plain-jane-generic as you could get besides windows; but no, i’m ultra unique:
Yes! You are unique among the 5084762 fingerprints in our entire dataset.
Somehow safari on an iPhone is also unique.
EFF updated their site since last check months ago, seeming to confirm theory
Nice (& I’m unique again on AmIUnique)
Check next week or in a new private tab now, prob be unique then too—think Apple’s fuzzing/reporting some noise/junk data for us.
Canvas:
& WebGL:
gotta be noisy, here’s hoping!
Look at my epic WebGL render:
How exactly is this rendering artifact generated?
I don’t know. But it’s random, which gives sites a “false sense of fingerprintability” each time.
Attribute number 1 already says 0%. We’re done here.
They basically asked for your name, birth date, and mother’s maiden name, and your browser just gave it to them and offered even more.
Is there no add on, for Firefox, for example, to stop or confuse fingerprinting?
Any suggestions?
For Android.
About:config doesn’t work on my android Firefox.
I should switch.
that’s pretty comprehensive, and similarity ratios show how easy it is to create a unique fingerprint for somebody if you hash a few of these metrics together for example.
My Mum always said I was unique.
Now I have proof!
Just being in Australia, and setting the timezone correctly gets you to below 0.6%
😒
I am unique cause I set language to EN-GB :D I guess their dataset is us centric
Same here with en-au, and my fucking timezone.
The percentage of, normally, privacy-aware people
dang, even with vanadium on graphene i am very uniquely identified. I suppose it can’t be helped these days.
