Anyone knows how that fingerprinting might have worked here? Unless you used a very specific combination of browser extensions, I can't get my head around how it could track you... Or do they maybe use external services like Google Analytics to identify users? But even that would require that you logged in somewhere else before with that same browser.
I, too, would very much like to know. Not so much to get a new Reddit account, but if Reddit is able to track me across devices, IP addresses, browsers, etc, then who knows who else is tracking us across all that.
