Thanks. I'm a bit confused by this tool. I ran and got this result

> Our tests indicate that you have strong protection against Web tracking.

Which sounds like a good thing. Then it follows with:

> Your browser has a nearly-unique fingerprint

This sounds like a bad thing to me because uniqueness makes me more identifiable. Do I interpret it correctly? What's the value I should look for?

This seems like a battle the end user can never win. The only idea I have is that everyone would run an identical, specially crafted, 'browser-vm' / container? that presents identical metrics and values for any amount of system query.

Imagine the data start pouring in as every client is starting to present itself as a 68000 HTML5 only browser, with no react rubbish or javascript support. We might end up with a simpler, and faster internet again. Plus a lot of big tech and ad companies scratching their heads.

You can change some metrics that contribute to the fingerprint between sessions, that the fingerprinting party assumes are stable over time.

There is no utility for the fingerprintor of getting your unique fingerprint, when that fingerprint wont be registered ever again.

If you use Firefox, look up the CanvasBlocker extension. It can even make the fingerprint appear consistent when first party domain is the same.

I suggest you try here also, it's a commercial product used in real world.

I tried safari, firefox and brave on it. Only brave failed this, every time.

Went to look on Google and found several thread about people complaining brave anti fingerprinting doesn't work very well. For instance https://community.brave.com/t/fingerprinting-protection-no-l...
