You're 100% right. The raw fingerprint dumps alone are not actually useful unless you can compare them to a population.

And creating that comparison is far harder than people think. To answer "How unique am I?" I need a large, representative dataset of fingerprints collected over time and ideally weighted by how often real websites use each feature. That would require running an backend and database.

It’s something I’d like to build eventually, but only in a privacy-preserving, opt-in way that aligns with the spirit of the project.
