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

    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?
