    I have been unique vistor everytime on many different test I have done in the past but this gets me spot on, which brings me to the question how can I randomise myself, or make myself unique everytime or blend in as a generic device? Basically anything that can be done to break fingerprinting. I am on libre wolf with some extensions

    Interesting. It doesn’t even mention Add Ons or Extensions (unless I missed ut, I only saw webGL extensions). I know a lot of it is inferred, but is still remarkably accurate. The “Times you looked away” box being accurate for me was a real slap in the chops.

      Sure and that is one thing. They where identifying you by the sites you visited awhile ago. They would post top x amount of sites and could tell who yiubwhere with I think 95% accuracy. Then increase the site by double and it went to 99%.

      This was all a couple years ago who the hell knows what they are doing now.

      From the site:

      PS: some of what you just read may be flat-out wrong. That helps less than you’d think, fingerprinting doesn’t need to be accurate, it needs to be consistent. If your browser gets something wrong the same way on every site, the mistake itself becomes part of your fingerprint.
