        EFF updated their site since last check months ago, seeming to confirm theory

        Our tests indicate that you have strong protection against Web tracking. IS YOUR BROWSER: Blocking tracking ads?	Yes Blocking invisible trackers?	Yes Protecting you from fingerprinting?	◕ your browser has a randomized fingerprint

        Nice (& I’m unique again on AmIUnique)

        Check next week or in a new private tab now, prob be unique then too—think Apple’s fuzzing/reporting some noise/junk data for us.

        Canvas:

        & WebGL:

        gotta be noisy, here’s hoping!

            How exactly is this rendering artifact generated?

              I don’t know. But it’s random, which gives sites a “false sense of fingerprintability” each time.
