Seems to be making a lot out of "you send your user agent and screen resolution".

There is a looot more than that lol. Usually enough to allow them to uniquely fingerprint every device on earth.

There were a couple of things on that page that were novel to me. "Only a couple" made it worthwhile though:

  1. There's a free tier to a service that gives you geolocation data from an IP address
  2. This site counts the number of times you move to a different tab

I didnt mean this site specifically just in general.

See this site for something more technical. Takes a while to process everything give it a minute.
