OK, maybe not EVERYTHING but I’m surfing the web on Fedora + Mullvad browser (standard settings, no custom blocklist) + non-Mullvad VPN with kill-switch. Problem: some popular sites (streaming, chat-bot etc) show me interface, login pop-up or google SSO, in my NATIVE (non-English) language like the…

I would love to be wrong about this. However, that claim falls in contrast to fingerprint.com profiling me as a repeat visitor regardless of switching IP addresses, while using the “standard” security profile. Based on the “blending in” idea, either I should pop up as having visited 5 times from thi…

Are you closing the app or pressing the new identity button? I recently learned that the new identity button does more than closing and reopening. I think they should function the same. Now I’m curious if it’s the same with the Tor browser, maybe this should be mentioned in the privacyguides.

where can i see those locales? sites like browserleaks or pages like about:support in browser? about:config? i haven’t changed anything in browser settings and my fedora is installed as en-US language, i just changed the time zone (no NTP) which i thought is not a big deal since both browser rese…

Excellent question. I’m fully closing the browser and giving it about a minute or two before changing VPN locations and going to a bookmark of the site. For fingerprint.com in particular, it looks like their “suspect score” includes the IP as part of some reputation data, which I think jukes the st…

Go to CreepJS and check out any non en-US parameters.

Not the /demo URL, but the fingerprint.com front page gives the same data in a bit more depth. Which, right now, it’s showing 3 visits from me over the last 24 hours, including right now. That includes a hash that is NOT one of the ones above, and 2 visits clustered from when I was hitting the site…

OK, tried your “change identity” method, changed VPN location, closed and re-opened the browser. Now I’m pinging the third screenshot above, hash ending in uriA From the /demo link. Showing 2 visits from same time as posting that comment above. [image] CreepJS hash is the same, ending in ec0a. …

Done everything, they still track me?
