Does contradicting the VPN specifically make me significantly more identifiable? I don't care if they know I'm using a VPN. I care if they can recognize me.

    Super cool project! I notice it can tell if Firefox’s resist fingerprinting is on. Given that most people have this off does this imply it actually makes you more identifiable? Ie I’m probably the only Linux user on my network with it on

    Love the summary format. Definitely a lot more accurate of a fingerprint using Chromium, many stats with Librewolf are jumbled up as expected. In fact, all is well in Chromium. I guess all but one of my machines are entry-level, ran the test on my second-most recent device (2019 ThinkPad) and it's still characterized as "entry-level".

    It commented on Firefox RFP reporting UTC regardless of local time zone and I thought it was funny that I do in fact have my devices set to UTC even though I don't live in Iceland. To be clear, not a bug, just my personal choice.
