Online Tracking.

How well does your browser protect you against online tracking?
Here's an interesting service.
https://panopticlick.eff.org/

Take the test - let's compare results!
And tell us the name and version no. of the browser, as well as what type of tracking protection you are using.

Internet Explorer 9.
Tracking Protection Lists.
Avast Online Security - on or off, I still get 3 , only failing 'fingerprinting'.

 

Last time I checked, panopticlick seemed buggy, see the comments on the recent ghacks review.

 

The last time ghacks.net reviewed Panopticlick was in 2010.

Here's the latest review by Martin Brinkmann.

That link was the one I was referring to, check the comments.

I can have a different Canvas fingerprint on each refresh of the page ^^ but I don't usually run that way, it costs me time with re-logging etc.

I'm frequently running a non-public Beta browser, I'd be very surprised if anyone else had exactly the same detections/fingerprint as me.

I just noticed that it incorrectly detects my screen size (I'm running without poisoning Canvas fingerprinting) yet with a backup browser, an up-to-date FF x86 Release version, it detects it correctly:

 

Internet Explorer 11.
F-Secure suite.
Top 2..... Yes.
Bottom 2....No and 'Your browser has a unique fingerprint'.

 

I did the test with javascript disabled and still 'failed' fingerprinting. The only thing it fingerprinted was the spoofed user agent.
Hello Bingbot

 

Just a finger print. JS enabled. OS X. Firefox 43.0.2. And I couldn't be bothered less.

Cheers..

 

IE 11 First two yes and bottom two no and it says "your browser has a unique fingerprint".

 

'Unique' in this instance is actually bad.

 

Not really, especially if the fingerprint changes on each page refresh

 

How does one accomplish that?
I'm using Internet Explorer 9 & Mozilla Firefox 42.

 

Wow... Amazed at the results.

I run Firefox in the 360 TS sandbox. Firefox has NoScript, Ghostery, and Bluhell firewall. The plug ins are the real thing, but NoScript take a while to get used to. I don't white list much so I do have to temp allow alot, but it's worth it to me. Ghostery is a great compliment. If I white list or temp allow a page, Ghostery still blocks the ad junk. Bluhell is a great site firewall. NoScript is the key, though. It blocks redirect downloads.

I still don't think I'm safe even with MBAM pro, 360 TS, Private Firewall, GlassWire Net Monitor, and EMET running. This is because I watched a guy on the today show the other day hack a random person in about 20 seconds. Wish I had the answers for that kind of thing...

 

I use Pale Moon:

• Not sure that this applies to the PM version for Atom/XP though.

The current public Beta version also has an experimental XSS blocker:

 

Using Pale Moon 25.8.1 + AdBlock Plus + McAfee 8.8, got top three 3 but unique fingerprint. The Panopticlick website has an invalid or out of date certificate and wanted me to activate Java Deployment Toolkit, which it says has security vulnerabilities.

 

Interesting when I use Pale Moon my results are all 4 no and your browser has a unique fingerprint.
I only use Pale Moon as my back up but I see there is a update so I will update and see if that changes things.

 

Nope got the same results.

 

Thanks satrow, it's much appreciated.
I think I'll use Tor, or Linux and Tor. And then run Windows in a virtual machine. And not connect to the internet while using Windows.
I will find a way...
