Re: [tor-talk] Browserprint fingerprinting website



I zoom and change window size often, and they are reset when the browser starts. I think they rather prevent tracking me. But your site tells that my fingerprint is unique because of them. Maybe, exclude those parameters?

Yes, the TBB and IceCat handle screen size calculations in a way
different to most browsers.
This results in odd screen sizes and screen sizes that can be affected
by zooming.
I wasn't aware that the character sizes test was also affected by
zooming (this seems to be the case on even regular browsers), thanks for
pointing that out.
I'm also concerned that you got "nullxnull" for your CSS screen size
test, I guess that means the test is bugged.

Hi. I pushed the "fingerprint me" button.

Browser Characteristic | Number of occurrences | one in x browsers
have this value | value
Screen Size and Colour Depth | 1 | 217 | 583x467x24

It seems that this parameter depends on the zoom, as well as
"Character Sizes".

Hello, I'm the creator of a new fingerprinting website,
https://browserprint.info
Think Panopticlick but with a lot more tests.
Many of the tests are even designed specifically to catch the Tor
browser bundle out, for instance the Math/Tan function returns a
different value based on what your underlying operating system is, so
it's easy to detect when a browser is lying in their user-agent string.
I would greatly appreciate if you visit the site and fingerprint
yourselves since it will help me refine the techniques and improve
the site.
I'm adding more tests every week and if you have any ideas or
suggestions I'd love to hear them.
