https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ Wanted to share this awesome tool to test your browser, also please do share your results in the comments.
You should include a hyperlink to the actual site in your post.
I don't know if you posted a link to the actual site (I'm not seeing one, just a screenshot), https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/
ye that's the one, I forgot to put the url in the post
Thanks for posting this! I installed privacy badger and modified my user agent as a result of the test. Very helpful insight that I didn’t have before.
privacy badger is outdated though, not needed anymore if you have ublock origin
I have ublock origin and failed the tracker checks without privacy badger.
hm, mine is on medium mode so it blocks 3rd party scripts, maybe it's that? do whatever works for you
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

Feels good man.
Wow nice. Any opinions on how these fingerprinting evaluators compare?

Am I Unique?:

Sad a pretty stock iPhone that’s blocking via some filterlists and using iCloud Private Relay (a “VPN”) is so detectable! Should be so many browsers appearing similar but there’s always this & that that mean I’m unique.
-my comment a month back & some discussion
I'm completely unique, both AmIUnique and the CreepJS test highlighted my installed fonts and two webcams (one of them is actually a virtual redirect for my primary webcam, since the drivers are DirectShow-based)
Would be interesting to see how my linux laptop performs, tbf it might be unique too considering it's a mbp 2012. I remember running into at least one website I visited on it showing much higher prices compared to when I revisited the same website later from my windows desktop...
Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 7748.22 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.
Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys 12.92 bits of identifying information.
Using Arc on iOS.
| Blocking tracking ads? | Yes |
| Blocking invisible trackers? | Yes |
| Protecting you from [fingerprinting] | Partial protection |
pretty typical, not too bad if you aren't protecting your fingerprint with the noscript addon
Is that available on iOS?
I realise my options are limited on this platform.
noscript also exists on chromium, so if there a browser that supports addons on IOS it most prolly will have it. But I wouldn't worry about it too much. I don't have noscript installed on my phone either for convenience sake
What are your browser config and settings? (Extensions, settings, about:config...)
Anyone know if its possible to change the HTTP_ACCEPT header in Firefox on Android? Apparently that alone is enough to uniquely identify me :(
I use "Mull" on android it is a firefox fork and is pretty much arkenfox mobile and more. You can try switching to that
I'm not sure if it's just me, but the page wouldn't load at all. I'm using pihole for network DNS blocking + privacy badger + noscript. Even when I allowed all the domains via noscript temporary trusting it just sat there and spun forever.
somewhat related, is there any way at all to enable high refresh rates while using resistFingerprinting, or something I could use instead of it? this is the only thing keeping me away from resistFingerprinting on Mull and Librewolf.
Ah so that's the reason that Mull is limited to 60 hz. Sorry I have no idea
