    In my case, "at least 18.2 bits of information", but that seems to be an underestimate based on being unique amongst the recent visitors (~300k = 2^18). If they were independent, the information sources available on me would sum to about 75 bits).

    Less than 8 bits of information with the Tor browser.

    Browser manufacturers should offer a reduced fingerprint option (rather than only trying to block fingerprinting sites).

      Tor seems to work as the default browser on Android, although everything is somewhat slowed. It may even be safe to accept cookies.

          @BorisBarbour Well that was fun. I clicked on it and got a bunch of complete page refreshes and etc because it never bothered to ask me to enable JavaScript and I wasn't in the mood to do it manually (yes I use noscript.) Then I got a bunch of parts where I had to manually hit proceed when uBlock Origin blocked trackers, lol. And it still passed all three points.

          So LibreWolf with uBlock Origin and noscript for the win.

          (Jokes aside, there's still some stuff even it can't really stop and I don't fool myself about that as much as I'd love to believe it was absolute. I really need to make a habit of using Tor Browser more, but it takes so blasted long to make that initial connection most of the time.)

              @BorisBarbour my taste in smaprphones is too rare for my timezone, I lose on hardware fingerprinting alone, tor can't save me

                  @Lizette603_23 @BorisBarbour what? It's a tool created by the Electronic Frontier Foundation in 2010 under the name Panopticlick.

                  It's not some 'random thing', it's a web browser checker tool created by people that know what they're talking about.

                    @BorisBarbour

                    Screen Size and Color Depth
                    1920x1200x32

                    One in x browsers have this value: 1896.9

                    So being a bit taller than a telly (hey, I read A4 portrait documents on my screen rather more than I watch telly) is really quite unusual?

                      @TimWardCam@c.im @BorisBarbour@mastodon.social that is a bit strange yeah, most screens are still 1080p or standard sized 720p from what I know, also 32bit color depth is pretty fancy I think 😛

                              @BorisBarbour iOS in-app browsing in Ice Cubes with iCloud Private Relay enabled: 12.02 bits.

                              Safari on the same phone with the same settings: 12 bits.

                              Not bad.
