Remember, kids, disabling JavaScript is cheating, since many sites require JavaScript to work and fingerprinting code can be included in that mandatory JavaScript.
Some kind anon many threads before posted a link to a story that indicates Google is injecting fingerprint code into their CAPTCHAs.

This means that the majority of 4chan users could be being fingerprinted, and Google might know about your shitposting habits.
To fix this you can get a pass (which allows you to be tracked by 4chan in a different way), or you can trust the 4chan X extension and use that to run 4chan with all JavaScript disabled.
Daily reminder to do all your Facebook / Youtube / LinkedIn / botnet shit in a completely separate browser to your Googling or buying shit.
It's currently the ONLY way to truly defend against fingerprint tracking.
Double points if you have each browser running in a different VM with a different OS.
Triple points if you have each browser's VM configured with a different VPN.
The Tor Browser Bundle is still susceptible to many fingerprinting attacks that can uncover your true OS and browser.
Spoofing your user-agent is counterproductive unless you use a different user-agent for every site, even if you rotate them every x HTTP requests.
I hear the Tor project is making their own fingerprinting suite for scratch.
I'm unique.
What do?

Anybody?
Don't forget to wear tinfoil hat while browsing

it seems my use of chromium on android makes me a special unique snowflake. my browser has a fingerprint that conveys10.73 bits of identifying information.
will try again with another browser, and report back.

Good goyim.
Embrace the botnet.
Do not resist.

You are a unique guy

What agent should I use? The full
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36
Or just one line?

just tried again with 'Privacy Browser' I just installed from f-droid.
java script disabled by default- re-enabled, and retested.
it seems that, once a special unique snowflake, always a special unique snowflake.
to make matters worse, the capcha was food, now I'm hungry.
I can't win for losing. off to the kitchen I go.

Yes! You have strong protection against Web tracking, though your software isn’t checking for Do Not Track policies.

I'd say don't change your UA unless it's for the same browser family and OS as you're actually running.
There are ways to determine your underlying OS and browser that will make you stick out like a sore thumb for lying

you dun goofed.
get extension to block canvas fingerprinting, change user agent to chrome stable, uninstall non default fonts, unblock cookies, allow trackers (get an extension that kills em on close), maximize browser window.

>allow trackers
Wait what?

The majority of people do not disallow trackers. Given that it's a completely useless option, you are better off just blending in by enabling it.
