>amiunique.org fingerprint is always unique.
Do we really have reason to believe this matters? Just because amiunique.org identifies users based on all possible metrics available from a website doesn't necessarily mean much:
- We don't know whether other websites actually use this same technique to attempt to identify unique users. In other words, there's no indication that normal commercial websites are taking every possible measure of the browser, assigning a UUID to that configuration, and then attempting to build a fingerprint based on that, rather than just using cookies, and perhaps other, more basic fingerprinting.
- A browser might give different metrics in private browsing mode, due to some plugins operating differently.
- A normal website (eg: google.com) observes a much, much wider list of potential browser configurations than amiunique.org. There's no reason to think that you'd be just as unique when compared to a much wider selection of possible configurations.
- Corporate solutions, such as fingerprint.com _can_ be tricked.
