If I have a certain phone model with updates applied. Is there something that distinguishes me from other people with the same phone and browser version other than the IP address?
- mdorazio 4y agoI, too, would like to know this and find it odd it wasn't mentioned at all. Most web traffic these days is from mobile devices, not desktops/laptops. And Apple at least seems to try doing a decent job of obfuscating trackable info by default on top of massive numbers of people having the same device (probably not true for Android).
