  42.65% according to the website they linked.

    You have to understand that this number is grossly skewed. Think of the person who would be most likely to use that website. It’s logical to assume that many of them are Firefox users, who tend to be more privacy oriented. The wctual market share of Firefox is low as fuck. I think it was like 1% lol.

      You are close, it seems Firefox is estimate to a max of 3 percent and dropping.

      I’m probably 89% of the 42%.

      I enjoy refreshing the page to see my browser fingerpriny say %100 unique.

      Every time.

      If you don’t use “resist fingerprints” in firefox, or don’t use firefox, use a canvas blocker plugin.

      And turn off webrtc, webgl2; use ublock origin plugin, block 3rd party cookies, and clear your damn cache and history.

        How badly does resist fingerprinting break sites? And what is the best way to fix it when it breaks?
