Fingerprinting is a new way of tracking you across websites.
It's being done right now by companies like Google.
Because unlike cookie based tracking you can't defeat it just by disabling cookies.
There is currently NO FOOLPROOF DEFENCE against fingerprinting (except quitting the Internet).
Google's privacy policy states
>Other technologies are used for similar purposes as a cookie on other platforms where cookies are not available or applicable
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/key-terms/#toc-terms-cookie
ReCAPTCHA probably contains fingerprinting code:

This means that the majority of 4chan users could be being fingerprinted, and Google might know about your shitposting habits even if cookies are disabled.
Google releases limited hangout of how much they know about you:

>Oh, they're just remembering what YouTube videos I watched, nothing creepy about that, I already knew they were doing it!
>I guess all those people who fear tracking really are just conspiracy theorists!
Daily reminder to do all your Amazon / eBay / 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 connection.

Browserprint redirects you to HTTPS.
Panopticlick seems to also.
Can't be bothered testing the others
This is a serious problem that people need to be aware of

There's lots of stuff like that.
Is it possible for companies like google to spy on multiple browser windows using fingerprinting?
>>55484258
Yes.
That wouldn't stop anything unless they were completely different browsers.
what is this thread ab8ut /g?

It's about how you're being tracked across the internet whether you like it or not using fingerprinting techniques.
Scary shit
>>55481216
There's a Google Analytics tracker on 4chan, what do you think?
>>55486368
A lot of people don't realise that.
And a lot of people disregard tracking unless you explicitly show it to them.
>>55481189
2.5 points if they're in VMs with different OSes, same VPN, but plugins to make them seem like other OSes with different plugins?
Also, adnauseum?
>>55484285
Actually, some techniques can identify unique features of your hardware and network configuration, so 2 different browsers wouldn't necessarily provide any protection.

And even then, they don't appreciate how insidious it is. People (you) don't appreciate how easily they (you) are manipulated by technology. It's not a human intelligence at work. Lets say for example, 2 years from now you're feeling down because of some terrible event in your life, which you will have expressed somewhere online. Doesn't matter where. Could be 4chan, since google can link people to posts. You'll be shopping for groceries, and go to check the price for something or your twitter or whatever. All the ads will be about your life. The coke will have her name. There will be more alcohol, subtly interspersed with shapes that exploit your unique sexual preferences. Some of the ads will be nostalgic, flooding your mind with memories of better days and products you already associate with them, unique to experiences shared by your micro demographic. This is something about yourself no human technically knows, not even you, since it will be automatically derived from your behavior, but it's still a weakness you have that someTHING knows and will exploit. All this information will be planted in your mind in a quick wash of colors and shapes you won't really register, because your attention is occupied. But you'll walk out of the store with 3x as much stuff as you intended, because you want to feel better, and fucking motherbrain knows how you're feeling and where you are. This or something like it will eventually happen to you every week. These things will always play their best hand to make you buy more, and the house always wins in the end. You are giving up free will by degrees by allowing yourself to be tracked and datamined. You are hurting yourself, and everyone measurably like yourself by helping to train these AIs to manipulate you. You are making faceless people rich from it. But you can't help it, because you can't not be tracked now. We're all fucked together.
Isnt there an entire field of careers like data analytics or something to that effect that does this? What im trying to get at is this fingerprint has already been done, nothing is gonna not stop them unless u just never use a computer, and even then we are never safe from this. What we buy where we work ,how much you earn, they already know. Do you really belive that a few vm and some browsers are gonna stop them? Im not saying its right but dont honestly belive u are giving them a hard time with these tatics with your infromation which they alredy have.

It's not infeasible to write a browser that totally resists fingerprinting through intelligent randomization. But it would do so by breaking basically every w3c standard, and the result would still be a lot of broken websites. Still, right now it's not even possible with existing software. It ought to be possible.

How'd you do that?
