anonymoose@lemmy.ca 11 months agoTrying out Librewolf, I realized just how many sites (including Reddit!) use tricks like canvas fingerprinting to identify me up to 99% uniqueness. And here I thought just a VPN, uBO and no cookies would be enough!

It’s honestly scary how easy it is to fingerprint you

Yeah, 💯. Of course, if we resist fingerprinting too much, we make ourselves have a unique fingerprint again 😁 I assume some of the tools you’ve mentioned randomize the fingerprint instead of just hiding it?
Haha, no worries!

According to Arkenfox user.js the Canvas Fingerprint randomization is caused by Firefoxs Resist Fingerprinting
Yeah, that’s why Tor Browser has such strong privacy. You blend into the rrowd because everyone’s resistance is the same :)

Nice, I should make sure I have FF’s fingerprint resistance on.
Yeah, hopefully more and more people start putting up strong privacy walls, so there’s more of a crowd to blend with!
