![]() ![]() I do not recommend using randomly changing User-Agents (or even worse randomly changing screen sizes) or simulating a different browser than Firefox (as long as tracking is concerned, this may be useful for other purposes). If you are on another OS, you may want to try to show yourself as the same Firefox version but on Windows (sadly you will have to manually select the version and manually change it after updates, that's precisely why I think this feature could be improved). If you are on Windows, I would recommend letting this disabled. Regarding the actual agent spoofing feature, I'm not very happy how this was implemented by this module. I'm using this since several months without noticing any impact of this setting, but YMMV. While you are here, I also recommend to try disabling canvas support ( Options > Script injection options > Disable canvas support) as this should tremendously improve your Panopticlick score. ![]() Setting this option may however slightly alter website's look, but this should not have any major impact on usability. The list of available fonts can be restricted by setting Options > Standard options > Limit detectable fonts. Most Panopticlick tracking criteria can be found in its settings. This module should be merely seen as an anti-tracking module, gathering both specific features and Firefox tracking-related settings in a single place (including so-called "advanced" settings, like disabling WebRTC). IMHO, this module is poorly named, probably for historical reasons, since the agent spoofing feature is completely optional and maybe not even the most interesting one. On Firefox, you may want to try the Random Agent Spoofer addon. Reduced from about 1:175000 to 1:21000 isn't bad actually!) I still like to know another way where you can remove specific fonts by your own decision or even add some (without deleting them from your own computer).Įdit: Here is my evaluation (I didn't use Tor, I didn't use proxy!), tried the entire day using the provided answers here and that's the best result so far (I'm still not happy about the result but I thought I will just share it with you. Then there you type in search: "_document_fonts" and you modify this and set it either to 0 or just leave it blank. On your computer, find your flash folder, edit mms.cfg and add this: DisableDeviceFontEnumeration = 1Īny other ideas? This is really frustrating, I know we cannot fully protect our privacy but we can surely at least make it a bit harder for others.Įdit: Thanks to WhiteWinterWolf: On Firefox you can remove most system fonts (and thereby reduce fingerprint) by going to task bar, write: "about:config". ![]() Go to about:config and set "plugins.enumerable_names" to empty string What I have already tried and did not work (but might still be good to increase your safety and anonymity): I went to that page using Tor Browser and realized it has way less System Fonts than me on Firefox which is why it's less unique. My question, is there actually a way to reduce / delete / edit System Fonts in Firefox? The site says that only 1 of 160000 browsers have the same fonts like me which is really bad. I have realized that the main reason I'm identified as "unique" is information that "System Fonts" provide. What I did was I went to: to see my digital fingerprint on the internet. I know there were some previous (similar) questions to this, I have read them all and also tried but nothing has really helped (maybe because it was outdated information). ![]()
