eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Here's the proof by using Brave browser to capture it.

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

may i know how to prevent them for tracking?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

why does webgl concern you?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

I see canvas as an issue but webgl to me has no issues

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Interesting. Better start incorporating Amazon stealth techniques into your eBay accounts now..

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Is Brave Browser helpful with Canvas?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Yes, the browser blocks canvas tracking.

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Check your signature with this:

It sounds like it is not an exact science to me.

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

One tip, NEVER block the Canvas value, always try to spoof it. They can see if its being blocked, and that is more of a trigger to me than using the default.

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

I was thinking of getting this a add on and it seems to explain it pretty good.

What do you guys think?

Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...ingerprinting/

Write up: https://multiloginapp.com/how-canvas...ily-trackable/

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

I've been using it for about a year and I can say it does change canvas results on whoer.net

If you use it... set it and forget it...

If its really a serious concern though, I'd go with virtualization over an addon.

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

An interesting read....

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Now summarize what you understood from that article...

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

What are you using for virtualization?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Is this an instant concern or only for a long term concern?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Looks like they are already using it. Although they might be confused why so many accounts getting linked. lol

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Welcome back...:welcome; Been on vacation or just that busy making $?

Just a wild guess I'd say vacation... This time last year I lost 2 accounts to buyers. These last two months this year I got negative feedback on 5 accounts. The only negatives I got all year. Next year I'm taking a break May & June. Just going fall back and sell storage unit items.

Live in an RV and traveling around. Life is simple and great.

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

PayPal have been using this form of tracking technology for as long as I can remember. They've never exercised it in the form Amazon would do, i.e. link and suspend. So with eBay being so closely affiliated with PayPal I would presume the same. Hence, their purpose of using it may be for something else (perhaps, not sure).

Ideally you want to be putting each account into its own Virtual Machine, each with a different OS to really prevent any form of linking. This is the best way forward as you future proof your accounts from all angles. But for now, new user accounts tend to suffice.

He's going to write a guide for you. :thumb:

For Chrome users: Disable WebGL

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

I'm using the Canvas spoof...do I go with the webgl disable on top of that? I get the phone number question when using the Canvas spoof, no big deal but you can never tell until it's too late.

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

My personal fav is THIS addon. Included below is how to configure it properly to get a persistent canvas readout id.

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

So Canvas Spoof is bad because they know you are changing it but
canvas blocker with persistent canvas reading is a good idea. Right?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

The goal is to spoof your real one, new spoof ID should not change constantly hence we make it persistent. You dig it homie?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

What does this mean exactly in layman's terms?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

It means avoiding linking infos basically... Even a caveman can do it.

Thanks

This is the ULTIMATE solution now, Multilogin

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Thanks, I want to find a plugin or software to detect what fingerprint infor this website gets from me. Just like the Brave browser can remind me

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Can someone educate me about canvas?

What's the difference between non-persistent, persistent and constant settings ?

Feels like I should set it to persistent to each of the portable browser so to keep the same settings every time I connect to ebay and pp ?

If it's non-persistent , ebay would see it as a new device every time I close my browser?

Am I correct ?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

I have the same canvas and webgl in 2 different VMs using 2 different VPNs when connecting. Everything else seems to be good and unique. Is there something I might have done for it to do this? Would using the same iso file do this? Either way, do I just create a multilogin account for each VM and use that to combat the canvas and webgl?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

I wouldn't read into it too much.

You're doing more than what's necessary for the purpose of eBay/PayPal tracking. New user accounts suffice, so a VM for each account is more than enough.

If you really want to play it safe, what I do is isolate each account into its own VM, and ensure each VM has a different OS. That keeps things more isolated/independent/unique than is necessary.

Beyond that, is just being paranoid.

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Thank you for your reply! So good for ebay/pp, what about amz?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

This thread is like a year old, and still no problem as of yet following the old way. So far so good as far as pyapal is goes.

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

For Amazon it's a little more complicated. This thread was posted in ebay/paypal so advice will be for those.

My best advice for Amazon is get a cheap laptop, and dedicated the account to that laptop. That way there's no risk of linking, and everything is unique. :)

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Thank you :)

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Exactly. No phone and stuff.

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

I always tell people to avoid tethering using a phone anyway.

If you're going to go that route, get a data sim, and a usb dongle.
