  • the hardest thing to stop them tracking you is digital fingerprinting. they don’t need you to sign in, they have a profile with dozens of data points unique to your hardware/browser, unless you’ve got things installs specifically to prevent fingerprinting

      That site is brutal. No matter what I do or what browser setup I use, it always says that I have a unique fingerprint

      • i think the message is there’s no such thing as 100% private/anonymous–there’ll always be something giving you up

      Why does firefox allow random people to farm all that information? That’s the real problem here.

      • it’s not just firefox. pretty sure that’s just how the web works. i use librewolf with privacy badger, canvas blocker, and ublock, but it’s still built around firefox. i get a “unique fingerprint” notification, but also “you have strong tracking protection”
