I read all the way down and never felt violated at all.
e.g. it got my o/s right, but tz very wrong. Screen resolution was wrong too - I didn't take notes, but there were a few other dodgy things it 'knew' about me. Overall, quite pleased!

@RockyC True dat, if it is consistent ...
Exactly, if it is consistent. I randomize things like user agent, available fonts and cloak other things too. Plus, every new, unrelated tab is its own container. Other things... The bastards may still get me somehow, but not with the tools on this site.

@RockyC@fosstodon.org a similiar website that I've seen is https://we-are-jammin.xyz/, though it's more for the lols than actually warning people.

@Flying_SquirrelOG @mherbert And if you use noscript, it doesn't load at all.
@RockyC @Flying_SquirrelOG @mherbert With JS blocked in ublock origin, I just got a blank page. Which is misleading since I'm pretty sure websites can still get quite a bit of information without JS.
I'm surprised it didn't try to read my location (which changes day to day and is almost always wrong, but a lot of sites ask for it anyway).

@janeishly @benc @RockyC eh, the tool is genAI slop so that probably explains it

@RockyC this personality test is okay with me. I'll tell my friends.

@RockyC that site called me a linux user then crashed my browser. its scarier than fingerprints.

@RockyC it was quite interesting what it got wrong.... mostly because of how I have my phone set up. Thanks for posting this!

It says I have 14,000 text-to-speech voices installed. I'm not too sure about that.
It says I have programmer fonts installed, and tells me I write code. I do not write code. Programmer fonts? Well, I likely have fixed width fonts. Does that make me a programmer? -

@RockyC@fosstodon.org There was a Firefox extension (CanvasBlocker) that introduced noise into all sorts of fingerprinting attempts; unfortunately it's unmaintained and it caused slowdown in certain webpages due to intercepting various Web APIs.

@RockyC I always run browsers in a VM to protect core system security, and connect via a VPN. This site didn't make a very good fingerprint.
The typing fingerprint is impressive, though.

@GoblinQuester It doesn't matter if the details are wrong. What matters is that they are consistent. That allows them to build a profile and follow you regardless.
@RockyC @GoblinQuester I visited the site 4 times and received 4 unique ids. None matched.

@RockyC This also means that you can fingerprint your visitors, salt and hash the fingerprint, and get unique visitor counts and recognise visitors without having them log in. And the salt means that your visitor's data are not trackable across websites. We don't actually have to give everyone's information away to advertiser's and data brokers.
