What score does your browser(s) get?

I’ll start: I got:

one in ~25000 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours

    On LibreWolf, which I use to surf daily, I got one in 180k+.

    Afterwards, I tried Tor Browser -which is honestly almost never used- and this was a lot better at one in 6k+. Though this was only in “Safer” mode, I tried testing it on “Safest” afterwards, but an update screwed it up and I somehow couldn’t get it back to its standard opening size.

    Interestingly, my best result I got once again on LibreWolf. This time, I changed two things:

    1. Enable letterboxing
    2. Disable Javascript entirely through uBlock Origin

    This resulted in a one in 800+. I am interested to know how Mullvad browser users fare on Mullvad VPN.

      With a default installation of Mullvad Browser on Mullvad VPN:

      Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 31172.33 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.

      Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys 14.93 bits of identifying information.

      With LibreWolf I got a unique fingerprint, but I’m doing that on purpose. The fingerprint changes randomly to prevent tracking. It may be distinct, but it’ll be different with each visit.

        Many parts of your browser’s fingerprint which can be randomized are well known to tracking companies, so your strategy isn’t perfect.

        Your Mullvad result seems too high btw, though I don’t have access to my computer right now to compare.
