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
If your fingerprint is unique, that means you can’t be confused for someone else.
That is literally the opposite of anti-fingerprinting.
You want to look like 1000’s of other people, so they can’t prove it was you that visited a particular site and use that information against you.
If it’s unique every time it means they can’t create a consistent fingerprint for you.
A UUID assigned to each user is unique, but that’s not useful for tracking unless you can ensure each user keeps the same number across visits.
The idea with anti-fingerprinting is the idea that no matter who you are or what your setup is, the fingerprint is created, it matches many, many other browsers
Imagine a sea of people in Guy Fawkes masks.
No, the idea is that you can’t be traced via fingerprinting.
