I’ve an unique fingerprint, but different fp results in every test run, with mostly wrong sys specs, only it shows correct my country, nothing else. Same in Browserleaks.
“Your browser has a unique fingerprint”…well that isn’t good…
Please also consider things like canvas spoofing. It will create a unique fingerprint that is different every time.
Unique among the people who use that website. So if nobody else if you’re configuration ever tried that website… You would be unique
The bits of entropy are the more important parts of the results. The lower the bits the better
0 because I have scripts disabled.

mullvad vpn + mullvad browser + a bunch of extensions: 1:26830.0
fingerprint.com does not track me

librewolf doesn’t do auto updates.
I don’t need to harden firefox myself, mullvad comes pre harded.
Librewolf Flatpak autoupdates lol
That’s great! I’m glad you have a package management system that works for you!

It should however be noted that LibreWolf does not have auto-update capabilities, and therefore it relies on package managers or users to apply them.

How did it identify you via tor? Were you using the browser bundle? Completely vanilla?
Did you refresh your session between tests?
deleted by creator
For what it’s worth I just tested.
Tor browser 13.0.1, plus U-Block origin, fingerprint.com did not identify two different sessions

Something is very curious about your install.
if you want to debug this: in tor browser, double check your using tor, try out whatismyipaddress.com, change circuits and make sure it changes again.
Look at the bits of entropy that coveryourtracks.eff.org shows, it could be something funky like an environment variable letting in system fonts.

Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 187,041 tested in the past 45 days.
Same here. Is there a way to spoof a more generic fingerprint or something?
It seems that my screen resolution is the problem. Brave beats Firefox based browsers because it spoofs the screen resolution
Am I looking for a high number or a low number?
Looks like Chrome randomized my fingerprint but Firefox doesn’t. Does that mean I should be using chrome instead of FF?
But also
I don’t get it
There’s a couple issues going on here. Number one is it’s unique amongst the people who go to EFFs website cover your tracks. That’s not all of the internet users. Hell that’s not even most of the internet users. It’s pretty niche community.
The bits of identifying information are the critical key here. 16 bits, 2 ^ 16… 65,000 different possibilities. Each piece of information you give, makes it a little bit easier to track you. Things like language, time zone… The more bits, the easier it is to identify you. The less bits, the more you blend into the crowd.
This is why multiple people, including myself, have talked about fingerprint.com they’re professional service, who’s targeting websites, who want to track users. So they’re incentivized to track as best as able.
Even if you’ve got a great EFF score, you should always check fingerprint.com, to see if they can track you.
Mine said -
Don’t get it either, just stock FF on stock Android
Stock browsers give a lot of information, supported system fonts, supported system languages, time zone, canvas size, browser window size, there’s a lot of data that leaks out from the browser itself.
Install a weird game that installed a weird font into your system? Well now the entire world can uniquely identify your font combination as you.
Makes sense, thanks!
Though, no idea how that would affect your average Joe so I’ll not worry about it!

Firefox mobile with various addons, most important of which is probably NoScript
Only one in 706.9 browsers have the same fingerprint as
yoursmine.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.
