On Librewolf i got 16.48 bits of information, on TOR browser 10.32 bits, but on Tails I managed to get only 9.3 bits.
Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 183,996 tested in the past 45 days.

12.67 from Safari/iPhone, without changing any settings. This is my most commonly used browser
Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 91389.5 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.
Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys 16.48 bits of identifying information
Doesn't look good. How do you make it so that your browser doesn't have a fingerprint at all?
Close it.

I misread the title as "Cover your taxes" and got really excited to earn about tax avoidance tips. Legal ones obviously.
I appreciate the site, but what score is considered good or bad? A cool stat would be some kind of score compared to everyone else.
Best methods to lower the score on android? I tested multiple browsers on EFF. 17 bits regardless of browser.
Interesting, this is a cool test! Unsurprisingly, my setup is rather unique.
One thing that stood out to me is that it failed to detect my adblocker. Also, my screen size alone is unique: 1 in 181697 of this 181697 browsers tested.
What would be considered a high score on this? Is 16 too high?
After disabling extension "I still don't care about cookies" on Librewolf, I went from 17.48 bits unique fingerprint to 16.48 nearly unique one.
If I tried twice and I got a unique id both times, does it mean Firefox is covering my track ?
Idk, but I have the same. Scrolling through the tracking methods the only ones with high uniqueness were hash of canvas fingerprint and hash of webGL for me. According to it I still have strong protection Firefox + ublock on mobile though
if it ran the test again, I'd say yes. but if it just reloads the result page, doesn't mean anything
yeah I was wondering if the tool would show that hit saws this id once already
17.47 on mobile Vivaldi.
It seems like the characteristics of my Android tablet doom me here - I was unique even using Chrome.
