"textContent": "Thankfully this is but an exercise in finding obscure ways of tracking for me, nevertheless, thanks for the input and the suggestions.\n\nI know this is all quite theoretical, but throwing enough money and engineering at the problem, you could hypothetically extrapolate element sizes to the exact dimensions someone uses, and nothing will help you, if you changed element or font sizes in settings.\nI mean even polluting an image with noise might do the opposite, since you’d be the person sticking out with noise, artifacts or unconventional/resized images, whereas most others have a pretty clear image.\n\nThe only feasible mitigation I see is having the screenshot tool render a frame with another resolution (or even invoke a virtual dummy display) which then takes a vertically incomplete screenshot for obfuscation of ratio.\n(Or buying a phone that most other people in your circles/country have, which in turn probably won’t be a Pixel then…)\n\nAnyway, it’s curious to think about Google having (probably not intentionally) created further means of fingerprinting in the form of Material You/Monet, which you can not disable.",
