I went on amiunique.com, and it says that I’m unique.
Lowest scores: list of fonts JS (0.01%), canvas (0.00%), media devices (0.00%), user agent (0.11%), and audio data (0.80%)
I use Linux Mint Debian edition, Librewolf browser, and Mullvad VPN. How do I become less unique?
One of the points of Libre Wolf is to make you unique, but each session should be unique.
You can find some additional setting tweaks here: https://librewolf.net/docs/settings/
The “letterboxing” feature is an additional uniqueness feature you could consider enabling.
I’m particular you could check your result in this experiment: https://fpresearch.httpjames.space/
Try it in both normal and in a private tab, then record those results, reopen Libre Wolf, and try again.
Can you explain what I’m supposed to be looking for in that .space link? What’s the server code and client code? Am I trying to see if the emojis and number at the bottom changes when I reopen the site?
So server code is your fingerprint based on what a server is able to see. This would be your fingerprint with JS disabled, essential. Client code is the JS generated fingerprint.
For the emojis I have no idea.
So, if I have the same client code and a different server code, I’m followable only as long as I have JS enabled?
I don’t think anyone actually knows what the hell this test is showing lol
So … Again, what is the point of this test, lol. What am i looking for? It seems like no one actually knows what the hell this test is showing, lol. Idk why it was posted if no one knows what it’s showing? Do you know what I’m supposed to be looking for?
The test is simply showing two fingerprints for your browser. One, the server fingerprint, is one that any tracker can see. The other, the client fingerprint, is what can be used if you have Javascript enabled.
Instead of inundating you with test results, this one is simple - check to see if your fingerprints change between browsing sessions. If they don’t change, that means you can be tracked. In which case you can mess with settings and try again.
Mine appears to change each time between browser sessions on a semi-hardened firefox. No clue what the bottom section means though.
The bottom result (the % certain one) is just a fuzzy match of similar fingerprints AFAICT.
So should both the server and client codes change each time you reopen a new browser session? Or just the client?
Both should if your goal is to not have a reusable fingerprint (which for a privacy focus would be). Server should change more frequently since it has access to less information about the browser. Server based fingerprinting is fairly unreliable, client side uses Javascript to generate more bits of unique data.
