Today I got greeted on a Tor friendly website
It was at the Securedrop website. How did I end up there ? I read something about Sequoia and encryption and then wanted to see what Securedrop entailed.
Meanwhile I've raised the security settings. Still, today someone in this community (?) mentioned that Tor browser does not protect the remote to check for the OS, and now this. Color me surprised.
That was probably me. You can check it here among other scary fingerprint stuff https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/
Wow nice. Any opinions on how these fingerprinting evaluators compare?

Am I Unique?:
https://amiunique.org
Sad a pretty stock iPhone that’s blocking via some filterlists and using iCloud Private Relay (a “VPN”) is so detectable! Should be so many browsers appearing similar but there’s always this & that that mean I’m unique.
Just tried amiunique.org and got this...
"Yes! You are unique among the 2561164 fingerprints in our entire dataset."
So much for using VPN and "hardened" Mull browser 😅
They renamed panopticlick to cover your tracks? It was such a good name!
Haven't used amiunique but the EFF one I have seen people criticize because it only checks your uniqueness among people who opted in to take the test, so the results can be highly skewed.
Thanks for the heads up. Yes, I tried CreepJS before and saw it found Linux as a result :/
That can't have been the reason, rather the fact it could tell.
Your browser sends information about its version and the os in the useragent string. It is supposed to lie and say it is a very commonly used useragent, specifically for purposes of fingerprinting. That would be windows, default configuration, firefox version something not you firefox version
But if it says Linux when you use windows then it doesn't matter, right? The point is to make them all look the same
This is interesting; what do I do with the information?
