how did you reduce your fingerprinting ?

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

In my experience, you have thee choices. You can use NoScript and avoid enabling domains required for fingerprinting, you can turn on privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config, or instead of focusing on not being fingerprinted, focus on guaranteeing your fingerprint will keep changing.

I turned privacy.resistFingerprinting to true and now get an absolutely unique fingerprint on the tool

That might be because it'll be new every time.

Edit: I haven't done my homework about how good this post's test is, but I use amiunique.org to compare browser settings.

Be aware that any sites using HTML5 Canvas will probably be broken now. It breaks some other niche things too that may not be obviously related, so just keep that in mind if any site starts acting up.

I use an addon called Chameleon that creates a random user agent that changes periodically.

similar, i used Random User Agent, it shows that i have a unique finger print... but the user agent of that fingerprint is not 'my' user agent, so in 30 mintutes i would appear as a different fingerprint
