[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 921987, member: 71262"] EFF's test looks to be the same as before, just repackaged with a better description of tracking techniques and identifiers as [USER=26718]@silversurfer[/USER] posts. I just don't buy into these tests as having much value other than curiosity, maybe to some degree for complete newbies, [I]except even then they may focus on results and not the explanation of tracking methods. In the end, there is too much variability in testing and tracking methods, pollution and skewing of the test data, the low vs high entropy debate, etc.[/I] I use any built-in tools, add an adblocker, etc. if needed, and call it a day. All the rest is for entertainment purposes only 😁, with which [USER=85179]@security123[/USER] probably agrees. [/QUOTE]
