EFF "cover your tracks" browser privacy test
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ Wanted to share this awesome tool to test your browser, also please do share your results in the comments.
very hard to circumvate fingerprinting, I use noscript for that
What are your settings for noscript? This test won't complete after installing it.
You have to enable the scripts for the page and leave everything else blocked
Doesn't work.
It's a bit of manual work. Trial and error with just first party scripts, then add specific capabilities to scripts one-by-one
Best I get is with canvasblocker--without NoScript. At this point I'm not sure this screenshot is not photoshopped.
We could ask the OP for their NoScript settings.

in the noscriot settings default is set to "noscript and others" rest turned off, there is also ublock origin set to block 3rd party scripts, firefox fingerprinting settings are turned on
What are your NoScript settings for this page?
everything is on default so every sibgle page it loads allows "noscript" and "others" as indicated by the noscript settings
Thanks!
firefoxes regular fingerprinting protection has canvas blocking try turning that on from about:config. no scrip allows only "noscript" and "others" to loaf by defsult and ublock origin is blocking 3rd psrty javascript.
Task failed successfully
I have only "no script" and "others" enabled by default
LOL

you don't even need javascript to fingerprint anymore. html and css works too
that needs javascript to work. I largely block javascript on my browser.
Just use brave
Our tests indicate that you have strong protection against Web tracking.
IS YOUR BROWSER:
Blocking tracking ads? Yes
Blocking invisible trackers? Yes
Protecting you from fingerprinting? ◕ your browser has a randomized fingerprint
fuck brave
I never got all the Brave hate. Just don't do the crypto stuff.
that in my opinion shouldn't be in the browser in the first place, plus I don't wanna support the chromium monopoly and instead wanna use a gecko based browser.
It's opt-in
For me, I just dislike the feature bloat. I wonder if somebody has a brave fork, since brave has some of the best fingerprinting protection amongst all browsers
I got almost the exact same result using DDG on a cheap android phone. Within .1 bits of identifying info.
I get 17.45 on an iPad Pro. This is with all extensions disabled and my adblocker off. They say I am unique in the past 45 days. Looking through the info I don’t see how this works. Could it be that no one else has tested with an iPad Pro? It’s not like the hardware in this model is different from a similar one. You really just cannot meddle with it. It’s a fairly locked down ecosystem.
If I took an iPad, reset it and ran the test. Then reset it and ran the test again, would both be unique?
