I use Firefox on Android with NoScript and an adblocker.
Yet I'm uniquely identifiable. One culprit is screen size putting me at <0.01%.
Does that make defeating fingerprinting on mobile hopeless for the casual user?
Edit: more info. All JS is blocked, and I have privacy.resistFingerprinting. The page doesn't detect my adblocker. Still, there are just too many things I can't change:
- hardware concurrency: 1.7%
- audio formats: 0.2%
- navigator properties: 0.2%
- audio data: 0.1%
I was surprised at this one:
- Media devices: Unique
What are media device identifiers for, exactly? Why does the browser supply it without JS?
