What score does your browser(s) get?

I’ll start: I got:

one in ~25000 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours

8 points

I got “unique among the 185,973 tested in the past 45 days”

Edit: this is using Firefox Android Nightly with UBlock + Canvas Blocker

Similar. Using Mull, uBlock, pi-hole, and ghostery. I should try with my VPN on.

Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 4330.4 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.

Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys 12.08 bits of identifying information.

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

On LibreWolf, which I use to surf daily, I got one in 180k+.

Afterwards, I tried Tor Browser -which is honestly almost never used- and this was a lot better at one in 6k+. Though this was only in “Safer” mode, I tried testing it on “Safest” afterwards, but an update screwed it up and I somehow couldn’t get it back to its standard opening size.

Interestingly, my best result I got once again on LibreWolf. This time, I changed two things:

  1. Enable letterboxing
  2. Disable Javascript entirely through uBlock Origin

This resulted in a one in 800+. I am interested to know how Mullvad browser users fare on Mullvad VPN.

I see. I too use similar settings on Librewolf: should try it.

Many parts of your browser’s fingerprint which can be randomized are well known to tracking companies, so your strategy isn’t perfect.

Your Mullvad result seems too high btw, though I don’t have access to my computer right now to compare.

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.

Do you have js enabled?

Trying to figure out how to accomplish this - doesn’t even work on tor

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’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!

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
