This ones my fave: https://amiunique.org/fingerprint
It shows the percentages of people who use your same browser features (called similarity ratios), and can determine whether you’re unique in their dataset. Can help for tweaking browser settings to try to make yourself not unique.
i used to think that firefox on linux and as plain-jane-generic as you could get besides windows; but no, i’m ultra unique:
Yes! You are unique among the 5084762 fingerprints in our entire dataset.
Somehow safari on an iPhone is also unique.
that’s pretty comprehensive, and similarity ratios show how easy it is to create a unique fingerprint for somebody if you hash a few of these metrics together for example.
“We know your IP address”. No kidding, that’s how IPv4 works, even if the browser wasn’t
leakingoffering it.Funny how websites can read the gyroscope. It can also be used as a microphone. https://crypto.stanford.edu/gyrophone/
Madness! This entire shit show should incur a stalking charge. It’s disgusting this is even allowed.
Well they tried
I prefer https://www.deviceinfo.me/
Interesting that this one doesn’t detect my battery (says it’s blocked) but the one OP posted can see it
I found it interesting that it knows my battery level and current orientation of the phone.
I can understand the latter since it might want to render differently, but why does it need to know the battery level?
Potentially to activate battery-saving features? Like AMOLED-black mode if your battery is <15 % or something (and your screen is AMOLED)
Shouldn’t that be the provenance of the device itself though. My phone already allows me to set a threshold when it should go to night mode for example. The system can tell the browser to switch rendering to night mode. There’s no real reason for the browser then to report to the site.
This post helped me discover that my SurfShark VPN built-in kill switch does not work within the Android app. My home IP was showing.
I turned kill switch on at the OS level and my IP was correctly showing the VPN IP.
Great news. My VPN is working!
I’m not even on VPN and I was located half a country away in Europe
Scary
Only 50% correct in my case (similar to Browserleaks), correct the OS, Screenresolution, Country but wrong site, wrong even the ISP
Site might be linked to the node of your ISP
Well. That’s horrifying. Thanks, I guess.
Welp, my user agent switcher is successfully purporting to be a different operating system.
Opend it in Tor Browser inside a Whonix dispVM inside Qubes OS it got nothing on me
Very well done site!
How many points of identification are needed to positively ID you? Something like 35 IIRC according to Cover Your Tracks/EFF? Might be remembering wrong 🤔
“31 data points”
Hell yeah! i is ghost.
