  • I know this post is a bit older at this point, but do you have any custom fonts installed? I could reliably reproduce my browser fingerprint as you described, even between Librewolf and Firefox with different configurations (including JavaScript disabled in Librewolf). A visit on one browser would increment the counter, and vice-versa.

    I had forgotten that, quite some time ago, I’d installed a font not packaged with my OS - I deleted it, made sure to clear out my site data, changed IPs, and finally got a shiny new fingerprint.

    Cross-referencing with EFF’s coveryourtracks site, I also noticed that one metric that almost never changes for me is my audiocontext fingerprint, although I can thwart that by disabling JavaScript, but maybe that’s contributing as well?





  • Honestly I’d love if more companies could adopt their payment model. Phreeli looks like a solid cellular provider and I’m sure their double-blind armadillo thing is legit, but if I could just mail them an unmarked envelope with nothing but a numeric account identifier and some cash I’d like it way more. Same with Tuta. But I understand there’s some possibility for logistical concerns there (what happens if the user loses their account identifier? Too many banks still use SMS 2FA, etc. etc.).
