- Retr0spectrum 10y agoMy font set was completely unique, which I partly expected. However, my canvas fingerprint was also completely unique, which did surprise me.
- fractal618 10y agoAny idea where we can find the most common subset of system fonts? Isn't canvas fingerprint linked to your window size, if you maximize your browser, does that help?
- dandelion_lover 10y agoIt's quite surprising that my disposable virtual machine's firefox in Qubes OS is unique among all tested so far...
- chatmasta 10y agoWhy is that surprising? That's going to be a unique fingerprint in most datasets. The average user is not using Qubes, Firefox or Linux. Qubes isn't designed to blend into all other users; it's designed to make you unlinkable to your other Qubes instances. A better experiment would be to run the test in two of your Qubes instances. Hopefully they will both be unique.
- hrjet 10y agoIsn't Qubes OS just a hypervisor? The hosted OSes shouldn't leak that they are running under Qubes.
- chatmasta 10y agoYeah, but the point still stands most people are not running all the unique programs within the guest OSes (Linux, Firefox, Tor, ...). But granted it may be surprising there was no collision with another HN user.
- mpeg 10y agoNote that this is very outdated. Modern fingerprinting techniques can identify you much more accurately than panopticlick can.
