Web fingerprinting is worse than I thought - Bitestring's Blog

FYI: Yeah, Librewolf is safe, unless the user disables resit fingerprint, which is enabled by default

    I agree it’s everywhere. I’ve been using EFF’s Cover Your Tracks and only Brave has passed with no unique fingerprint. By chance do you know of another reputable source to test it? I figured EFF would be the way to go but Librewolf doesn’t pass for me and I haven’t modified settings. Thanks!

      It doesn’t matter to be unique. The trick is to be different each time you start the browser or visit a site. This way you avoid profiling as the fingerprints don’t match. A unique fingerprint, shared by lots people and therefore indistinguishable, would be the case with the TOR browser.

        @Lanthanus @grimer @kixik you can also do that by using various browsers on multiple devices. this technically may decrease security, but by splitting your activities and accounts the fingerprints would only be connectable by IP and eventually OS, no?
