Browser fingerprinting

Post by fixit7 »

I got interested in browser fingerprints after visiting this site.

https://panopticlick.eff.org/

One of the items that can be collected is browser info.

However, I use a useragent that shows Firefox instead of Seamonkey.

I use UBlock Origin.

What do you think?

I don't care about fingerprinting. Use uBlock and NoScript. Any data advertizers get out of it despite this is useless. spam mails will be blocked and I never see any personal ads.

Agreed.

I think you're over thinking it.
No matter what you want to accomplish, whether you want to "join the group" or to "go it alone", they've got ya!
