"Tor: Browser Fingerprinting An Introduction"
],
"textContent": "I am sure a more senior member will hopefully correct me if I’m way off base. But the best protection you can have with fingerprinting is to use Tor, it does the most in keeping buckets of people looking the same.\n\nHowever even they admit the following:\n\n> One study that I was part of in 2018 [3] surprised us as it showed that tracking at a very large scale may not be feasible with low percentage of uniqueness. Anyhow, the one clear takeaway from these studies is the following: even though some browser vendors are working very hard to reduce as much as possible the differences between devices, it is not a perfect process. If you have that one value in your browser fingerprint (or a combination) that nobody has, you can still be tracked and that is why you should be careful about fingerprinting. There is no strong guarantee today that your device is identical to another one present on the Internet.\n\nTor: Browser Fingerprinting An Introduction\n\nSo is Ironfox fingerprinting enough? That’s tough to say, as it depends on your threat model and concerns, as well as how much they try and conceal those identifiers.\n\nIf you have genuine concern, you would be best to use Tor for casual browsing. Maybe Vanadium (if you use GrapheneOS) or Brave for stuff you need to login into on mobile. As Chromium based browser are a lot more secure than Firefox based browsers.",
