When we visit a website, we leave a lot of data about ourselves, starting with our IP address and ending with digital fingerprints, which are formed from all available data about the system, browser, and plugins. These prints are called “fingerprints".
They are unique identifiers of 32 characters, and are formed based on several types of data: language settings, fonts installed in the system, time zone, browser plugins, screen resolution, etc. Thus, it is possible to identify a specific user simply by comparing the fingerprints obtained by the site. However, changing the IP address does not affect the fingerprint in any way!
Approximately 90% of all browsers are unique! And the only thing we can do is get into the largest possible category. If you have a standard browser installed, without extensions, etc., then you will be identical to about 800 thousand users! Each new add-on makes you more unique. For example, installing the NoScript plugin reduces uniqueness by 50%.
The TOR browser hides all information about the system, but this gives the opposite result and distinguishes the user from the rest, although it provides a minimum of information to sites. For example, when JS is enabled, the site can see your screen resolution(you may have seen a warning pop up in the browser itself when it is open to full screen).
* Screen Size and Color Depth – screen resolution;
* Browser Plugin Details – information about installed plugins;
• Time Zone – Time zone;
* ETag-an identifier that is generated from the contents of the browser cache;
• Language – the system language;
* Hash of WebGL fingerprint – information about 3-D graphics. Contains information about the video card and so on;
* Font Fingerprints - fonts installed on the system;
* WebRTC Leak Test – unique identifiers of all audio and video devices in the system;
* Disable saving of cookies and cache;
• To change information about the browser, for example, there is a Random Agent Spoofer plugin;
* Use a clean browser, without unnecessary add-ons

* Canvas fingerprint-obtained using JavaScript. Different systems and browsers render images differently. Based on this, a unique fingerprint is formed;
* Screen Size and Color Depth – screen resolution;
* Browser Plugin Details – information about installed plugins;

* WebRTC Leak Test – unique identifiers of all audio and video devices in the system;
* Disable JavaScript (we will immediately remove Canvas and WebTRC prints);
* Disable saving of cookies and cache;
