- anamexis 7y agoThe amiunique.org one was very enlightening - along with my user agent, my content language header was giving away a huge amount of information around me. Long ago I selected German (second language) as a secondary language, and that combination is the rarest thing I have going for me.
- kristopolous 7y agoThese things state I'm unique every time I go to them. That's the problem with the tech, it can't track very well.
- TazeTSchnitzel 7y agoIt's stable but not over a long period because your browser will change. But it could be used to link two identifiers together, for example when your IP address changes, to create a chain that can track you over time.
- swebs 7y agoGoddamnit, I'm blocking everything except CSS and images through uMatrix and it was still able to determine I was unique due to the "If none match" header.
