    There’s so many more tricks to identify you, check out https://browserleaks.com

    It’s honestly scary how easy it is to fingerprint you. I’m using LibreWolf (PC) and Firefox Beta with Resist Fingerprinting and Strict Tracking Prevention turned on (Android) with uBlock Origin in Medium Mode, JShelter in Strict Mode and LocalCDN. That prevents much of it but sadly not everything

    Edit: Didn’t click your link, sorry for recommending browserleaks “twice”. My Canvas Fingerprint is 100% unique, although it changes each time I refresh (thanks to JShelter iirc). You can also simply disable WebGL (I think LibreWolf does this by default)

      Yeah, 💯. Of course, if we resist fingerprinting too much, we make ourselves have a unique fingerprint again 😁 I assume some of the tools you’ve mentioned randomize the fingerprint instead of just hiding it?

      Didn’t click your link,

      Haha, no worries!

        According to Arkenfox user.js the Canvas Fingerprint randomization is caused by Firefoxs Resist Fingerprinting

        Yeah, that’s why Tor Browser has such strong privacy. You blend into the crowd because everyone’s resistance is the same :)

        I’d also rather stand out sometimes by resisting Fingerprinting to much than always being Fingerprinted accurately

          Nice, I should make sure I have FF’s fingerprint resistance on.

          Yeah, hopefully more and more people start putting up strong privacy walls, so there’s more of a crowd to blend with!
