I use separate and fresh isolated firefox (running within podman container) to make fingerprinting a bit more difficult, it's still fingerprintable and probably this new fingerprint can be easily associated with the other but I like to imagine I make it more difficult to track me. Every little helps :)

- ramtatatam 5y agoYep, with this much of information it probably won't be a problem to match two browsers running on same machine. Interestingly my ff session which runs in podman does not reveal most of the best sources of fingerprinting which I can see when running the same test on chromium. I wonder if the answer to the problem could be to let those companies to track whatever they want if only all they get is exactly the same fingerprint from every user.
- brigade 5y agoI do wonder how accurate that is these days... Like it says that my user agent is significantly more unique than my monitor resolution, but Safari froze the user agent years ago. Which means that they calculate there are 21x more people that have a $5k XDR display than use macOS Safari. Which seems... unlikely. (anyway, tracking via IP address is a pretty accurate way to track across browsers and cookie resets, until you're behind a large NAT / proxy.)
- Nextgrid 5y agoA user-agent and IP address alone is enough to track you. The mere fact that you're using a browser with a single-digit marketshare is unique enough.
