What score does your browser(s) get?

I’ll start: I got:

one in ~25000 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours

    CreepJS is much better (and scarier) at fingerprinting you than EFF. I’ve not managed to completely fool it yet but I’ve got my score down to 0% trust, meaning the fingerprint it generates is pretty useless. I suspect the only way to totally fool it (by which I mean spoof my devices) would be to turn JS off completely.

      Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 4330.4 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.

      Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys 12.08 bits of identifying information.

    On LibreWolf, which I use to surf daily, I got one in 180k+.

    Afterwards, I tried Tor Browser -which is honestly almost never used- and this was a lot better at one in 6k+. Though this was only in “Safer” mode, I tried testing it on “Safest” afterwards, but an update screwed it up and I somehow couldn’t get it back to its standard opening size.

    Interestingly, my best result I got once again on LibreWolf. This time, I changed two things:

    1. Enable letterboxing
    2. Disable Javascript entirely through uBlock Origin

    This resulted in a one in 800+. I am interested to know how Mullvad browser users fare on Mullvad VPN.

      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 😂

    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.

    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?

      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

      Mullvad browser + extensions is pointless, might as well use LibreWolf or just harden Firefox yourself.

      The point of the Mullvad browser is to not stand out from the crowd; by installing extensions you are definitely standing out.

    There is also fingerprint.com, which I tend to trust more since it’s a company that literally sells fingerprinting tech to other companies.

    It managed to identify me while using the Tor browser on “Safer” (doesn’t work on “Safest” due to JS). Edit: this is likely due to an issue with my install, and not the browser itself.
