When I click a link you mean? Definitely true, but that way they only have access to my IP and user agent, which is still better than all the WebGL, Font library, display calibration settings, mouse movement etc. that they use otherwise.
I often use Tor, although I'm pretty sure that even then, a good analytics lib can see it's me based on scroll behaviour, mouse movement, time of day, and of course what I browse.
But yeah, you make a good point.
- deregulateMed 5y agoWhere do you get the link?
- float4 5y agoDDG mostly, and they don't track users.
- deregulateMed 5y agoYour device, your device version, screen size, browser, browser version, IP address, etc... Are all tracked regardless. You might not be a unique fingerprint, but at best you are part of a group of somewhere between 3 and 1000 similar users. Not to be a downer, but when I webscraped I learned that big corporations can spend money to fingerprint you.
