uBlock Origin, JShelter and LibreWolf disagree.
Additionally one could improve that further by using a VPN
If you wanna be extreme you could also just use the Tor Browser
Except sites deliberately break themselves if they can't harvest your data. You can't even browse reddit on Tor anymore.
Even merely using Fennec on my phone, I encounter shopping sites where I actually plan to spend money refuse to work because they can't recognize "my device." Or they refuse to sell me products where I live if I'm using a VPN. Creepy-ass behavior.
I suppose the only way out is through, and we should simply refuse to use sites that are designed in such a way, but it feels like a losing battle.
lol advance auto parts (one of the three major auto parts stores in the us) won't let u use their site with a VPN. so I just use the other two lol. like I can understand a government website blocking VPN traffic. but auto parts store?
What do you consider the other two big ones? Auto Zone and NAPA?
Just curious because there are so many auto parts stores where I live
auto one and O'Reilly
forgot that Napa even exits lol
I forgot about O'Reilly!
O o o o’reillyyyyyyyyyyyyy
How could I forget this jingle
We're doing our part! The fediverse needs good posts like yours to draw in new users.
Trying out Librewolf, I realized just how many sites (including Reddit!) use tricks like canvas fingerprinting to identify me up to 99% uniqueness. And here I thought just a VPN, uBO and no cookies would be enough!
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?
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!
