    Good find, 5 checks, 5 first visits! That’s with Brave. With Vanadium and Fennec it figures me out though.

      7 visits with brave, 7 times identified as the same. I’m using the default options of a fresh brave install

      how did you have such success?

        Not sure honestly, I’m always behind a VPN, which I was changing servers, as if it were actually able to fingerprint me that wouldn’t have mattered so I didn’t want a false positive from making it too easy, I do run GrapheneOS so not sure if the OS is either not sending or randomizing OS info on top of that, that it would normally get. Been a while but the only thing I changed from default in Brave was changing fingerprinting to strict. For the sites I visit its still fine 95% of the time so I leave it that way. I’ve read from others and their browsing habits it breaks a ton of sites. So e YMMV there.

          using the settings you described ( minus the VPN ) I was not able to cloak myself over the past several days
