Browser fingerprint refers to the ability to locate a user almost absolutely through various information of the browser, such as system font, screen resolution and browser plug-in, without the need for cookies and other technologies. Even if the browser’s private window mode is used, it cannot be anonymous. Browserprint tests if your browser has a unique “browser fingerprint.”
This answers the question: Is incognito in browsers really private? The answer seems to be no.
Browserprint is a free, open source testing tool that offers a product similar to the Electronic Outpost Foundation’s Panopticlick tool.
The frog changed several browsers and got a unique browser fingerprint. That is to say, through this fingerprint, it can locate the unique browser.
On Browserprint’s statistics page, about 85 percent of browsers have unique browser fingerprints, based on the 32,000 or so data tested so far.
Other data include the proportion of people using Tor, the proportion of operating systems, the proportion of people opening Cookies, time zones, browsers, etc. If you are interested, you can already write a paper based on these data. Browserprint itself is sponsored by the famous University of Adelaide in Australia.
Creating a browser fingerprint profile in the Giant Fingerprint browser is equivalent to creating a separate virtual browser environment. Cookies, local storage, and other cache files for each browser file are completely isolated, and browser profiles cannot leak information to each other. For the following five browser fingerprints can be absolutely realistic simulation:
- In general the fingerprint
Including Cookie, Session, Evercookie, and Flash Cookies
- Basic fingerprint
Including hardware type (Apple), operating system (Mac OS), User Agent (User Agent), system font, language, screen resolution, browser plug-in (Flash)
Silverlight, Java, etc), Browser extensions, Browser Settings (do-not-track, etc), time zone Offset (Browser GMT Offset) and many other information
- Senior fingerprint
Including Canvas fingerprint, AudioContext fingerprint, WebGL fingerprint and many other information
- The hardware fingerprint
Including media device fingerprints, GPU plugins and Pepper 3D rendering
- Integrated fingerprint
WebRTC (Web Real Time Communication), including MediaStream, RTCPeerConnection, RTCDataChannel, etc
Through the real simulation of the browser fingerprint, create a completely real independent physical environment, completely isolated from cross-browser detection, so as to achieve multi-platform and multi-website: batch registration of accounts, batch opening of accounts, batch number maintenance and other anti-association operations.
