Even though i have Proton VPN blocking trackers and use firefox with arkenfox EFF always says my browser has a unique fingerprint. Same with Mullvad browser and Tor. When I switched Tor to “Safer” it said near unique fingerprint, and only when i switched it to safest did it say i am protected from fingerprinting

from my results id guess that it has no fingerprit thanks to no javascript, but 90% of websites are useless without js

    always says my browser has a unique fingerprint.

    That’s mysterious! It’s hard to entirely smudge away your digital fingerprint, but getting 100% unique match makes me think something important in your setup might be missing.

    Does it say why?

    Do you get the same result in a “Private Browsing” session?

    Are your cookies set to clear automatically?

    If you’re allowing 3rd party cookies, you’re going to have a unique fingerprint 100% of the time. That would certainly do it.

    I can’t think of another reason you would get 100% unique match over and over, though.

    Are you running nightly releases of your browsers? That shouldn’t get 100%, but could if you’re unlucky. Or a big pack for browser plugins that love to announce themselves? I’m grasping at straws now.
