What score does your browser(s) get?

I’ll start: I got:

one in ~25000 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours

Only one in 706.9 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours mine.

Is that bad? Or is this like golf.

Not necessarily bad, the lower the number the harder it is to fingerprint you. In other words, your browser stands out much less and is less noticeable from the masses than the OPs browser.

Generally the more security/privacy tweaks and add-ons you apply to your browser the more secure it gets, but you tend to stand out from the masses more because of the changes, resulting in the 1 in 4,000 type stat. It becomes easier to differentiate your traffic from others.

Whether anonymity or security is more desirable depends on your threat model.

Edit: “Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 186,867 tested in the past 45 days.” Evidently I stand out quite a bit 😂

The lower the number the better. That’s pretty decent.
