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?

    JShelter blocks fingerprinting. uBlock blocks scripts, cookies, and trackers. Trackers are going away, even Google says so, in favor of fingerprinting. Hence why Chrome is moving manifest v3 without third party cookie support. (I hope I got all those facts right.)
