Ask HN: How to Combat Browser Fingerprinting?
I ran https://coveryourtracks.eff.org and under the "HTTP_ACCEPT Headers" results it says: "One in x browsers have this value: 136937.5" (in other words, highly unique and thus my browser is trackable).
1. In Firefox how can I control the HTTP_ACCEPT Headers to make them more generic (less trackable)?
2. Are there any good websites that have step-by-step guides to make your browser fingerprint less unique?
- suramya_tomar 5y agoIf you are using firefox you can try enabling the resistFingerprinting flag. Note that this is an experimental feature. Steps to enable are as follows: * Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter. * A warning page may appear. Click Accept the Risk and Continue to go to the about:config page. * Search for privacy.resistFingerprinting and set to true. - Suramya Note: This setting might be changed by some plugins so it might be a good idea to check this periodically
