• Even on standard settings, tracking companies like fingerprint.com fail to correlate your visits. The EFF’s (quite extensive) CoverYourTracks also fails to fingerprint the standard configuration. It helps a lot that <canvas> and WebGL access is denied by default and that the browser hides your screen resolution.

    You can go ultra paranoid if you want to, but you don’t need to for normal trackers.

      Sure, it all depends on how paranoid you are, my point was more that saying someone is untrackable if they use Tor has a lot of caveats.

      For the average pleb it’s probably fine, if all they’re doing is just trying to dodge regular trackers and not the authorities
