I’m always a little shocked at what my browsing habits prevent from these types of things. Thanks for sharing! I feel a little better about my browsing usage!
Comment on Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 day agoNo, with a VPN the only thing your ISP sees is you connecting to a VPN server IP.
But browser finger printing, on the other hand, can identify you, due to info your browser hands over to every website… Such as OS version, Resolution, installed Plugins, browser settings, etc…which is often unique enough to identify you out of the whole of the internet.
Ironically, locking your browser down with more security features/settings/plugins often makes you more identifiable. Cause capitalism is god damned sure they are gonna track you and monetize the hell out of your information, whether its via your name, your user name, or just your digital fingerprint.
