Not much of interest showed up for me. Monitor resolution, browser ID, geo location, OS and public IP. My main browser, Firefox, has uBlock and Self-Destructing Cookies. Tried it in both IE11 and Edge (both of which I never use), and I got pretty much the same result. Firefox and Epiphany on Gentoo Linux also failed to startle me. I'd like to see a screenshot of a "worst case scenario".

  I meant whatever DB they use to get location from an IP address.
