Last week when I was using mullvad browser and I went to this site “ fingerprint.com ” all I had to do was start a new session and it would give me a new score so it couldn’t know that I was the same person, but now I have to change ip otherwise it knows directly that I’m the same visitor as hiers whe…

Same issue here. I’ve been using Mullvad browser for quite some time, and also regularly tested my fingerprint with that site( fingerprint.com ). Previously, fingerprint.com wasn’t able to recognize me when Mullvad browser was simply restarted. But a few days ago, the visitor ID did not change even a…

They’re always improving their product, it could just be that they found some new fingerprinting method or they could just be going off your ip. To me, the fact that it changes when you change IPs is a good sign.

The problem is that on my Firefox I don’t need to change my ip for the ID to be changed, I just need to close my browser and open it for a new code to be provided and on my mullvad I can’t do anything about it. That’s a problem, isn’t it?

I know that Firefox has some fingerprint randomization built in, I’m not sure if tor browser uses that. They might have that disabled, or there might be something in their script that detects the randomization in tor browser (which mullvad is based on) and ignores those values. I don’t think it’s so…

This could be from many factors not relevant to the browser.

So it’s not just a problem for me? Have you tried using mullvad browser and the fingerprint.com website and tested with a new ID?

Fingerprint.com is a widely used service so the arguments against cover your tracks don’t apply, being that it has a smaller user base.
