Then this may be happening only with certain distributions or operating systems. It is definitely happening for me, I checked it over and over. "You have visited once." I close Tor Browser, restart, come back to fingerprint.com. "You have visited twice." I also did try this with safer. I did multiple tests. This impacts at least some operating systems or distributions. It may not impact Qubes. I didn't test that, but I am sure it impacts at least some users.
Are you keeping at default window size, or resizing? If latter, it is expected. This is a gotcha when using tiling window managers as they often force a window size that may give you off. TB should otherwise start with static fixed window size. Enabling "Letterboxing" feature can help alleviate this somewhat.
On PG: Also been seeing weird vibes and some inexplicable moderation comms and actions when looking closer. Their "recommendations" and "guides" also raise eyebrows. Something is very strange there.
This website says my device is less trustworthy because I'm using incognito and privacy focused settings. Fuck 'em.
How are you installing the browsers? Flatpak? AppImage?
