somewhat related, is there any way at all to enable high refresh rates while using resistFingerprinting, or something I could use instead of it? this is the only thing keeping me away from resistFingerprinting on Mull and Librewolf.
I feel like Firefox is better. Or onion is probably even better. Set your privacy settings to strict. I use iOS and my results were strong.
Also go into your iOS settings and mess around. Disable all their bullshit. I’m not a super tech savvy person. My brother is in IT, but privacy is super important to me, so I go around, read stuff, turn off a bunch of their “share with” stuff, and their Siri bullshit and everything I can tinker with. There are a lot of iOS settings buried pretty deep in subpages. I’m not sure if the eff is checking those, but I’ve had to go down my list of apps and disable some Siri bullshit.
Sorry I can’t be more specific, like I said, I’m not the tech savvy one. I just use bare bones stuff, disable things that sound fishy. It’s all worked out for me so far lol
I’m not sure if it’s just me, but the page wouldn’t load at all. I’m using pihole for network DNS blocking + privacy badger + noscript. Even when I allowed all the domains via noscript temporary trusting it just sat there and spun forever.
noscript also exists on chromium, so if there a browser that supports addons on IOS it most prolly will have it. But I wouldn’t worry about it too much. I don’t have noscript installed on my phone either for convenience sake
Sad a pretty stock iPhone that’s blocking via some filterlists and using iCloud Private Relay (a “VPN”) is so detectable! Should be so many browsers appearing similar but there’s always this & that that mean I’m unique.
I’m completely unique, both AmIUnique and the CreepJS test highlighted my installed fonts and two webcams (one of them is actually a virtual redirect for my primary webcam, since the drivers are DirectShow-based)
Would be interesting to see how my linux laptop performs, tbf it might be unique too considering it’s a mbp 2012. I remember running into at least one website I visited on it showing much higher prices compared to when I revisited the same website later from my windows desktop…
similar, i used Random User Agent, it shows that i have a unique finger print… but the user agent of that fingerprint is not ‘my’ user agent, so in 30 mintutes i would appear as a different fingerprint
In my experience, you have thee choices. You can use NoScript and avoid enabling domains required for fingerprinting, you can turn on privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config, or instead of focusing on not being fingerprinted, focus on guaranteeing your fingerprint will keep changing.
Be aware that any sites using HTML5 Canvas will probably be broken now. It breaks some other niche things too that may not be obviously related, so just keep that in mind if any site starts acting up.
Our tests indicate that you have strong protection against Web tracking.
Is your browser:
Blocking tracking ads? Yes
Blocking invisible trackers? Yes
Protecting you from fingerprinting? Your browser has a unique fingerprint
Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 178,285 tested in the past 45 days.
Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys at least 17.44 bits of identifying information.
in the noscriot settings default is set to “noscript and others” rest turned off, there is also ublock origin set to block 3rd party scripts, firefox fingerprinting settings are turned on
firefoxes regular fingerprinting protection has canvas blocking try turning that on from about:config. no scrip allows only “noscript” and “others” to loaf by defsult and ublock origin is blocking 3rd psrty javascript.
that in my opinion shouldn’t be in the browser in the first place, plus I don’t wanna support the chromium monopoly and instead wanna use a gecko based browser.
For me, I just dislike the feature bloat. I wonder if somebody has a brave fork, since brave has some of the best fingerprinting protection amongst all browsers
I get 17.45 on an iPad Pro. This is with all extensions disabled and my adblocker off. They say I am unique in the past 45 days. Looking through the info I don’t see how this works. Could it be that no one else has tested with an iPad Pro? It’s not like the hardware in this model is different from a similar one. You really just cannot meddle with it. It’s a fairly locked down ecosystem.
If I took an iPad, reset it and ran the test. Then reset it and ran the test again, would both be unique?
Thanks for posting this! I installed privacy badger and modified my user agent as a result of the test. Very helpful insight that I didn’t have before.
