    It got my location wrong. It got my GPU wrong. It said I never left the tab, even though I left it to start this comment. It said I moved my cursor 111 times in 74 seconds, which is absolutely false.

    That site is just pointless. Pretty much the only things it got right were my time zone and my browser.

      In my case it was incredibly accurate, except for one detail; the wire said I moved my finger over 600 times which… Seems hyperbolic.

      It also says I have Azerbaijani on my phone somewhere. I have no idea where that came from.

          That’s a good point. Thanks for that. Any tips on how to narrow down on that?

            You can download Hypatia. It’s a malware scanner. There’s an official fork that kept it alive after the original dev stopped maintaining.

            Otherwise, you’d have to narrow it down further. Any non mainstream apps you have would be the first to check

      Ridiculously accurate forme, tried across multiple browsers.

      Gyro, screensize, battery are all causes for concern. I have firefox with ublock and ss and it was able to see all except the gpu and battery.

      It says I’m on Chrome, I’m not.

      Also, so what if you know my IP, that isn’t sensitive information.

      It’s good to bring attention to this stuff but at the same time there’s no point getting too worried about it.

        Fingerprinting is real and we know it. Not because of the site but because every software dev I know who works in a net startup tells me that they do the basics and more. They won’t talk about the more.
