What’s the deal? I’m testing using https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ Is it truly unique (and repeatable), or is it perhaps being randomized on every request?

I’ve tried normal Firefox, Mull, and IronFox. With and without jShelter.

I’m using my phone. Stock Android on a Pixel 7 Pro.

In DDG Browser I have a “nearly unique” fingerprint.

I installed CanvasBlocker and disabled privacy.resistFingerprinting in IronFox (since CanvasBlocker said to), and my fingerprint is still unique. I guess I’m not surprised since I think CanvasBlocker is designed to randomize canvas fingerprinting.

Any tips on having even a shred of privacy when browsing the web on Android?

    Linux x86_64

    Hmm. 1 in 6 browsers checked at that site have this value. I’m sure your typical linux user is a little more privacy aware but that’s still an impressive ratio when the overall linux desktop usage is usually pegged between 4% and 5%.
