This totally works as an approach! Brave does it for canvas data and a bunch of other web APIs as well. The "farbling" noise is deterministic per profile/origin

This totally works as an approach! Brave does it for canvas data and a bunch of other web APIs as well. The "farbling" noise is deterministic per profile/origin combo to prevent being able to average it out across multiple page loads, but otherwise random.

- codedokode 4y agoThis allows to run fingerprinting script on hundred of domains and filter out the noise though.
- antonok 4y agoIf you own hundreds of domains, you're welcome to try, but there's no good reason to. Fingerprinting scripts rely on a canvas being identical between sessions to identify that the same user is even there in the first place. If you can already single out one user's activity across a hundred domains, you don't need to fingerprint them any further.
