Is it even possible to protect yourself from fingerprinting?
Even though i have Proton VPN blocking trackers and use firefox with arkenfox EFF always says my browser has a unique fingerprint. Same with Mullvad browser and Tor. When I switched Tor to "Safer" it said near unique fingerprint, and only when i switched it to safest did it say i am protected from fingerprinting
from my results id guess that it has no fingerprit thanks to no javascript, but 90% of websites are useless without js
The least unique setup is not to keep doing more special shit. You underestimate how many people run a vanilla safari or chrome browser on a MacBook with no external displays.
Linux, external monitor, special browser? That all makes you more unique
Exactly what I just said? Don’t use unique screens and you are less identifiable. The most anonymous browser is a freshly wiped two year old Apple device running safari or chrome from a university campus or coffee shop. A million other laptops have the same base canvas fingerprint.
Fewer people use Linux. Fewer people use specialized browsers. Fewer people have external displays. All those things make you easier to fingerprint than a vanilla machine.
Any screen is unique based on manufacturing process. Resolution not unique does not mean canvas fingerprint is not unique. You are wrong. Nothing special does not block canvas fingerprinting attempts.
