On: No-JavaScript Fingerprinting

[cmeacham98]

I have Firefox RFP enabled, and as far as I know all these values will be the same across RFP users except the size of the browser window (which seems like a poor fingerprinting metric given the fact I can and do resize my browser during usage) - and maybe pixel density? (can't tell if this one is standardized or not).

If there are any other RFP users out there compare to mine and see if you get anything different other than browser window size: https://noscriptfingerprint.com/result/yiRFTom5qPpKPxOl

What if you are the only one in your area that uses FF RFP ?

It says:

"4. Click the toggle button until “true” changes to “false”"

But for me there is no toggle button. It seems to not be able to do anything, with my blocker settings.

When I allow the site, I see, that it did change the screen resolution result compared to yours.

Even without RFP it seems to be very fragile, just resizing my window completely changes the result.

That's because it is including the dimensions of your window as part of your fingerprint. If your goal is to track users as they move across sites, matching browser size makes sense.

FYI, TOR browser has set a default browser resolution that ignore resizing to mitigate this issue. This might only make you blend in with other TOR users but this approach to resist device/ interface fingerprinting is quite interesting.

Yes, my signals only differ by screen size.
