thisdude Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Can I get some advice on how to get better results on Panopticlick? I'm using latest version of Firefox, addons: Ublock Origin, Privacy Badger, and HTTPS Everywhere. Thanks! https://panopticlick.eff.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnelsoninjax Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I'm using the latest FF as well with Ublock, NoScript, and HTTPS Everywhere, just like you, and the only thing it does not give me was the last one, fingerprinting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 IS there anyway to get yes, without installing anything additional? Victor Rambo 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely no, I just tested it in a portable browser with no add-on's and it failed all the tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, it's been a while since I used NoScript. I'll install it and see what results I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisdude Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Ok so know I added NoScript. And I got a check for everything but the unblock 3rd parties. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimefighter Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) It almost impossible to not be fingerprinted via browsing and it requires stopping all JavaScript, using Tor, and doing stupid stuff (lower your resolution, removing fonts, probably changing your browser). https://panopticlick.eff.org/about#defend-against https://whoer.net/blog/article/fingerprints-unique-browser-traces-part-1/ In other words, browsing will really suck. Worse, you can't do this on a permanent basis aka against all trackers. I am curious... Is this just to see if you can do it or do you think their is some practical reason to do this?

margrave Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I just used that link to test my installs of Chrome, Vivaldi, Brave, and Firefox. Nothing passed all of those tests. My conclusion is that to be truly safe I need to stay off of the internet, never go outside, keep the doors, and windows closed, covered, and bared, and generally have nothing to do with another person as they might get me. The world is a dangerous place. Even the digital one it seems. Shucks. oldtimefighter 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know how far I'm willing to go in protecting my information while still being able enjoying my web surfing experience, know what I mean? And the Geek side of me is always interested in what other Geeks have to say about this stuff. Maybe I can learn something new? Or find out some new information about a add-on I've been using that I didn't know? oldtimefighter 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
