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
You can fingerprint with just CSS and HTML
Yes, but it’s much better than if you have scripts enabled. Assuming have your useragent set to something common, you’re already covering a lot of ground, and even if you’re not totally fingerprint-proof from every html attribute, every little bit helps.
oddly enough, when i keep my default ua, it says one in 400 have the same one, but when i change it to chrome running on windows (first one on that website you shared) it says only one in 3000
though i suppose this may be inaccurate because theres a good chance that firefox users are more likely to use this site than chrome users
should i just keep it changed to chrome on windows or default?
mull: Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 172,086 tested in the past 45 days.
firefox focus: Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 172,099 tested in the past 45 days.
tor: Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 86045.5 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.
tor after enabling “request English versions of web pages for enhanced privacy”: Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 57368.0 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.
tor with safest security level: Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 823.48 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.
mull after changing android region to United States: Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 12294.86 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.
changing region doesn’t effect tor, as unlike mull it doesn’t leak system information
Do you have a threat model? If not, forget abt this stuff an start learning abt threat modeling.

If yes, great!
Start doing research on how Fingerprinting actually works, and include your new learned knowledge into your threat model. Also, those tests are mostly sucks. They often cover only a small part of what technically is even possible and their databases often covers only a small amount of an actual rl scenario.
The best protection may be to avoid sites that make use of it, at least to the extent possible
Burn your PC and use another one every time you open the browser…
