I don't believe this to be true. My CS1 browser fingerprinting[1] results shows that Internet Explorer and Chromium (Chrome etc.) are trackable with fingerprinting but Firefox (at least for me) is not, neither on desktop or mobile. Of course they might have found something the researchers have not.

- undersuit 6y agoThanks, I gave away my information by signing up for the project and they say that Firefox Focus can not be 'tracked uniquely over time' after I did a test scan on my phone. Plain Firefox from the Android store had the same result, but that app actually does store my cookies.
- Daho0n 6y agoYou have to test over time to get a useful result. Also note that this test only test Fingerprinting. They don't use cookies to test if you can be tracked.
