How Much Privacy Is Your Browser Providing?

[Av Gurus]

To prevent web sites from learning all about you and your browsing habits, you need to enable various security settings in your browser. You may also choose to install one or more browser extensions to automatically configure your browser for optimum privacy. But having done all that, just how well is everything working to protect your identity online?

Is there an easy way to find out?

It's a web site which will attempt to identify you from your browser. But instead of then using that information for its own purposes, it reports the data back to you, so you know just how much personal data your PC is divulging.

To test your browser you simply need to head to Panopticlick and then click on the Test Me button to start the process.

I would hazard a guess this is some way of getting users to install privacy badger.A neutral site would be more conclusive.

Hah.. I am laughing because that's what happened to me. I thought oh no! and installed badger and it came off 3 mins later after much lag =)

I had the same result, passed the first 3 and then had unique fingerprint. For which of course the easiest to grab solution is... privacy badger!
