Even though i have Proton VPN blocking trackers and use firefox with arkenfox EFF always says my browser has a unique fingerprint. Same with Mullvad browser and Tor. When I switched Tor to “Safer” it said near unique fingerprint, and only when i switched it to safest did it say i am protected from fingerprinting

from my results id guess that it has no fingerprit thanks to no javascript, but 90% of websites are useless without js

    You can fingerprint with just CSS and HTML

      Yes, but it’s much better than if you have scripts enabled. Assuming have your useragent set to something common, you’re already covering a lot of ground, and even if you’re not totally fingerprint-proof from every html attribute, every little bit helps.

        oddly enough, when i keep my default ua, it says one in 400 have the same one, but when i change it to chrome running on windows (first one on that website you shared) it says only one in 3000

        though i suppose this may be inaccurate because theres a good chance that firefox users are more likely to use this site than chrome users

        should i just keep it changed to chrome on windows or default?
