I just changed my preference for dark mode and got a different fingerprint. If it's not resilient to modest changes, it's not really that helpful at tracking anyone. There are already plugins to randomize some header data, so this type of thing has been known and protected against.

- heavyset_go 5y agoIf you have past data collected on the users, correlating users despite fingerprint changes should be pretty easy. If the fingerprint itself encodes data and isn't just a cryptographic hash, you don't even need to have past data collected, you just need fingerprints.
