[QUOTE="plat, post: 904991, member: 74969"] I got the same results you did. I never get a clean result, but then again, I don't use a vpn or run TOR browser. Too slow. I ran the test before and after installing 2 additional extensions claiming to protect against stuff like this. I put the snip here. Pretty much the only thing that changed before and after was the hash of my browser showed as spoofed--which of itself is an identifier. Total extensions: 5. uBO, Privacy Badger, ClearURL plus: Canvas Blocker and Spoof. The latter two are now removed. Enabled Do Not Track requests in chromium Edge also. Didn't change the test results. This test has gotten more specific over the past few years? This time it correctly shows my gpu model. Yuck. 😒 I got better results w/Random Agent Spoofer back in the day w/Mozilla Firefox. But it interfered w/too many sites and I kept getting notices to update Safari and Internet Explorer. Bottom line: I don't care. Machine ID me all you want. But others will fight the good fight and win. [spoiler][ATTACH type="full"]246342[/ATTACH][/spoiler] [spoiler][ATTACH type="full"]246343[/ATTACH][/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
