Stock browsers give a lot of information, supported system fonts, supported system languages, time zone, canvas size, browser window size, there’s a lot of data that leaks out from the browser itself.

Install a weird game that installed a weird font into your system? Well now the entire world can uniquely identify your font combination as you.

Makes sense, thanks!

Though, no idea how that would affect your average Joe so I’ll not worry about it!
