OT on Tor:

Recently this link was on HN[1]. It ranks your browser on regular tracking and fingerprinting separately. "Tor without JS" was the only option I found to be completely fingerprint resistant. Even Tor "with JS on strict settings" ranked it as only "partly fingerprint resistant". (Interestingly firefox without JS never returns)

Scary stuff.

I'd like to hear other people's experiences/experiments here.

You can even track people by favicon which bypasses incognito mode. Another part is hiding font urls in css with more tracking...

While this was possible in the past, I believe it got patched and is impossible today.
