is it possible to modify the browser's fingerprint so that it's no longer unique?
i heard about chameleon for firefox for starters

Yes. That's what Tor and Firefox can do pretty well.

Tweaking FF is usually enough to become as non-unique as possible. Their wiki seems like a good place to look up the basics though.

I can bet that javascript checks the uniqueness of the browser, yes ?
can you fool it (much in the same way that anti adblocks detectors work)?
Noah Scott
is it better than chameleon ?

Many aspects of your browser can't be determined with JS disabled, yes.

Tor and tweaked FF spoof certain values, but in many cases it's easier to simply block features that can be used to identify you (e.g. WebGL, webaudio API).

>itt js enabled fags
fucking lmao

just stop using browser and find a better way to spend your time.
Joshua Evans
firefox has some built in fingerprinting protection
>about:config
>privacy.resistFingerprinting = true
Landon Torres
That just changes your browser time to UTC instead of whatever is local.
Juan Baker
not true. It changed my OS from Win8.1 to 7, from firefox v66 to v60, the resolution, number of cores from 4 to 2, and so on...
Hudson Wood
Additionally it also switches your user-agent, forces a custom window resolution at start-up and returns a specific canvas, all to match your default Tor browser.
Caleb Rogers
why? you literally glow in the dark if you have some obscure OS+weird browser config/extensions
Austin Rivera
It makes sense when you use Linux and don't want to stand out. "Windows 10 + latest Chrome version" useragent is best useragent.
Ryan Adams
Yeah, spoofing your user-agent is no problem. Unfortunately it's no problem to detect your real OS, unless you have JS disabled.
Evan Jackson
ok so using icecat does something
Matthew Bell
Care to post the detailed infos? Never saw IceCat's results before. I think they have anti-fingerprint measures active by default, don't they?
Blake Turner
What site is that?

Nicholas Howard
everything is just "no JS" with the exception of the User agent which shows:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Android 9; Mobile; rv:60.0) Gecko/60.0 Firefox/60.0"
now how do i change that

Disabling the canvas is only one of about a hundred measures you have to take to become anonymous.
James Myers
I'm unique but my gob isn't competent enough to track anyone online, should I still get chameleon or something?
Ethan Turner
Really? Doesn't it show information about your time zone, screen resolution, cookie acceptance, etc.?
Luis Rodriguez
Use Tor or tweaked Firefox and uBlockOrigin to disable all JavaScript by default. You'll be non-unique and the only way to identify you will be through your IP.
Angel Carter
thats fucking odd
its not stable
40% will give me almost
60% will give me unique
Brayden Parker
Probably the last point about adblocking. Sometimes it realizes I use uBlock Origin, other times it doesn't. That changes the final score.
