When visiting a site, we leave a lot of data about ourselves, starting with the IP address and ending with the digital prints, which are formed from all available data about the system, the browser and plug-ins. These fingerprints are called "fingerprints".

 

They are unique identifiers of 32 characters, and are formed on the basis of several types of data: language settings, fonts installed in the system, time zone, browser plug-ins, screen resolution, etc. It is thus possible to identify a specific user by simply comparing the prints , received by the site. In this case, 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 to the largest possible category. If you have a standard browser, no extensions, etc., then you will be identical to about 800 thousand users! Each next add-on makes you more unique. For example, installing the NoScript plug-in reduces the uniqueness by 50%.

 

The Tor browser hides all the information about the system, but it gives the opposite result and allocates the user among the others, although it provides a minimum of information to the sites. For example, when JS is on, the site can see your screen resolution (you may have seen a warning appear in the browser itself, open full screen).

 

Here is the list of the main prints :

• Canvas fingerprint - obtained using JavaScript. Different systems and browsers draw images differently. On the basis of this, a unique imprint is formed;

• Screen Size and Color Depth - screen resolution;

• Browser Plugin Details - information about installed plug-ins;

• Time Zone;

• ETag - identifier, which is formed from the contents of the browser cache;

• Language - the language of the system;

• Hash of WebGL fingerprint - information about the 3-D chart. Contains information about the video card and so on;

• Font Fingerprints-fonts installed in the system;

• WebRTC Leak Test - unique identifiers of all audio and video devices in the system;

How to protect yourself from identification?

• Disable JavaScript (we immediately remove the prints of Canvas, WebTRC);

• Disable the saving of cookies and cache;

• To change information about the browser, for example, there is a plug-in Random Agent Spoofer;

• Use a clean browser, with no extra add-ons.
