Even though i have Proton VPN blocking trackers and use firefox with arkenfox EFF always says my browser has a unique fingerprint. Same with Mullvad browser and Tor. When I switched Tor to “Safer” it said near unique fingerprint, and only when i switched it to safest did it say i am protected from fingerprinting
from my results id guess that it has no fingerprit thanks to no javascript, but 90% of websites are useless without js
That’s mysterious! It’s hard to entirely smudge away your digital fingerprint, but getting 100% unique match makes me think something important in your setup might be missing.
Does it say why?
Do you get the same result in a “Private Browsing” session?
Are your cookies set to clear automatically?
If you’re allowing 3rd party cookies, you’re going to have a unique fingerprint 100% of the time. That would certainly do it.
I can’t think of another reason you would get 100% unique match over and over, though.
Are you running nightly releases of your browsers? That shouldn’t get 100%, but could if you’re unlucky. Or a big pack for browser plugins that love to announce themselves? I’m grasping at straws now.
Edit: You can press F12, while in your browser, and find a tab called ‘Network’ to see details of what your browser is sending out about you. Pay particular attention to ‘headers’ and ‘cookies’. If those are too informative, it gives you a unique fingerprint. 99.99% of everyone has a unique digital fingerprint. But some basic techniques, studiously applied, should take you out of that pool.
