that's not a good news if you're unique say among 1,5mln tested....

I'm very unique!!!:snicker:

I can destinguish that with no software of course, anyway the results this site can provide one with astound

Hate to break it to you but having a unique browser footprint is not a good thing.

that's true! imagine you cleared everything including you bought a new PC, IP etc etc and after that installed the same winds/browser + you're in an uncomon location = you're done.

Who said anything about browser footprint?

Just me going off topic late at night

BIN4RY did ))

So mine is unique. How do I fix this?

This is huge and needs to be looked at by everyone. There is a pdf file attached that gives you more information. Now I need to learn how to change my fingerprint.

yes, I guess this is how I was guessed... you must not be unique, you must not have any chinese or egiptian dictionary addons in your browser and you must not have 3.546 beta gamma firefx browser or anything old like that. otherwise you will be a white crow. everything should be up to date and as common as possible. if you are in germany don't use an english OS or a browser and vice verse if you're in the USA don't use an italian browser. if you are in the uk and you are a foreigner don't use any spell check addons (who for f sake in the UK does care about the spelling apart from you???) or any other addons at all that could make you unique. try to be as usual as possible.

Im not sure if ebay is tracking by this. Ill wait for the more experienced to chime in.

still waiting

Mine is unique :clap:

Amazon is already doing it, and eBay might be doing it soon, if not already.

wether they're doing it or not, it doesn't matter, they can use it as soon as they need to be sure.
you can't avoid being unique. your browser fingerprint is in 99,9% cases unique.
but what you can avoid is you can be differently unique with different accounts.

for example:

account 1 is running under winxp with firefox 5.0. there's no specific addons installed and everithing is just as it goes out of the box, no extra software, nothing at all, bare both the winds and the browser.
account 2 is on the same PC but is running under win7 with intexplorer 9.0, there's no wigits gudgets etc additional stuff nothing.
under this circumstances there's no additional similarity between your two accounts.

and try two think of this:
both your accounts are running under the same version of winxp installed from the same image/disk and both accounts are running under the same copy of IE browser. in this case this makes no difference wether you log in with the same ip or with different IPs or wether you clean cokies or not. your accounts can be suspected considering the fingerprints are absolutely the same.

this doesn't neseserely make you suspended but may help them to be sure you're having some accounts in casethey need additional prove that you are.

a good thing to run some different OS on the same PC with absolutely different configurations is virtualbox. it works with anything and everywere. and it's easy and comfortable to use.
