What score does your browser(s) get?

I’ll start: I got:

one in ~25000 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours

22 points

CreepJS is much better (and scarier) at fingerprinting you than EFF. I’ve not managed to completely fool it yet but I’ve got my score down to 0% trust, meaning the fingerprint it generates is pretty useless. I suspect the only way to totally fool it (by which I mean spoof my devices) would be to turn JS off completely.

On Safari 17 every time I visit the site it claims it’s my first visit, despite a trust score of 57%. Not sure if I’m interpreting the results wrong or ITP is just doing its job.

I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think creep stores anything on its github incarnation so it’ll always look like it’s your first visit.

iOS 17 Safari (especially with enhanced fingerprint protection on) is really good at fingerprint protection. It rotates a few data points like canvas ID so that it makes you look like a new fingerprint each time.

Fingerprint analyzers can find out lots about your fingerprint that way, but if your fingerprint keeps changing, it becomes difficult to identify you. Unique fingerprints don’t mean anything if your fingerprint keeps changing.

That’s what I was kind of thinking/hoping based on the results, but I wasn’t sure if I was understanding it right. Thanks for elaborating!

Yea, I’m just using the browser on my phone, with Private Relay and intelligent tracking prevention on for all websites. I’ve visited it a bunch of times now and I’ve gotten it to count consecutive visits a few times, but if I just wait a little while and refresh it goes back to 1 and the fuzzy fingerprint is wildly different

I get 0% on CreepJS with default DDG browser set to “strict”, with a crowd blending score of 27%.

I get 40.7% with Mull + adblocker and 66.5% with FF + adblocker

“Your browser has a unique fingerprint”…well that isn’t good…

Unique among the people who use that website. So if nobody else if you’re configuration ever tried that website… You would be unique

The bits of entropy are the more important parts of the results. The lower the bits the better

Please also consider things like canvas spoofing. It will create a unique fingerprint that is different every time.

I’m not sure how to read this report. It says my browser is unique and random with strong protections.

There is also fingerprint.com, which I tend to trust more since it’s a company that literally sells fingerprinting tech to other companies.

It managed to identify me while using the Tor browser on “Safer” (doesn’t work on “Safest” due to JS). Edit: this is likely due to an issue with my install, and not the browser itself.

How did it identify you via tor? Were you using the browser bundle? Completely vanilla?

Did you refresh your session between tests?

Completely vanilla, fully stopped and restarted the browser. This was right after the 13.0 update.

For what it’s worth I just tested.

Tor browser 13.0.1, plus U-Block origin, fingerprint.com did not identify two different sessions
