Need help with browser footprint
 

I have a lot of user accounts. Im familiar with browser footprint, fingerprint identification. 1 in 5 million computers with the same set up etc. bla bla bla.

Anyone have a good app, program to easily switch this up. Ive been using chrome on most of my user accounts. Im going to switch over to firefox. I know they have apps like agent switcher, etc. I just dont now if they really work or how to use it. Like change the header of the string etc.
Anything easier since Ill have to do this with every account I make and I make about 2 a day.

I see VM ware a lot. I go to the page and it has cloud services and all that. I just want to have a different browser fingerprint for each user account. I can only change my screen resolution so many times before I start using the same ones.

Offtopic slightly but could you link a decent site that would explain this to a person who has never heard of it? Me.

Anything to make my stealth operation better, I'm down.

If you want to see what websites can see about you, go to https://panopticlick.eff.org/

I would be careful with the User Agent switcher. It works, but will not stop a javascript query into your system. So, your user agent line could show that you are on a MAC, but if the website uses javascript they can easily find out what your REAL OS is.

BrowserSpy.dk is a good site that will test your user agent and show you what the vulnerabilities are.

There ARE things you can do to vary your fingerprint easily enough. Panopticlick explains all of this, like using different add-ons and such.

For eBay do I need to worry about browser fingerprinting or is new user account plus new IP enough?

Re: Need help with browser footprint
 

eBay does not use browser fingerprinting, at least not yet.

No. This is for something else. Im going to a specific website and creating a lot of different accounts. I use new user accounts and IPs and emails but after awhile, the system can (supposedly) sniff out computers that have similar system set ups. Thats why they say use generic laptops and dont alter browsers by adding ad ons etc. Keep everything stock. But after awhile, making around 100 different accounts, there is only so much you can do to not match all the accounts. Im still pretty legit but I try to avoid any stressful outcome.

I would be varying everything. Different browsers, different add-ons, different EVERYTHING. Because using brand new installations on everything can look suspicious too. How many people have a brand-new PC not used with anything before and then go to whatever this website is to register?

I bet they "use" a lot of things we don't think they do, they just don't act on it. Yet.
