A user created a thread in this lemmy community remarking that the Tor Browser has a personally identifiable fingerprint under normal settings (the “Standard” and “Safer” modes make you fingerprintable), with several commenters doing the same test and reporting the same. The user who created this post also said that on the privacy guides forum posts about this topic are being deleted.
The poster could try to provide proof. Has at least one of these posts been archived (on archive.is or archive.org)?
If I recall it correctly this is intended behaviour and no problem as long as the fingerprint is random every time. So for example if I visit YouTube today, close the browser and visit YouTube again tomorrow there should be different fingerprints. They are unique but as long as they don’t stay the same you can’t be tracked with it
It’s the same fingerprint every time if you use the same computer, and that fingerprint is unique to the computer. I don’t know why this is so confusing.
that’s the intended behavior and its not working like that. try testing with fingerprint.com… it very clearly identifies i have the same fingerprint and i visited the page n times
Thank for for being the one person who actually did the test and replicated my results. Everyone else just bitched about it and didn’t do the test, and some people did the test and claimed they weren’t unique without any reliable information. It’s a problem, thank you for confirming at least one other person sees what the fuck I am writing about.
