Wow nice. Any opinions on how these fingerprinting evaluators compare?

Sad a pretty stock iPhone that’s blocking via some filterlists and using iCloud Private Relay (a “VPN”) is so detectable! Should be so many browsers appearing similar but there’s always this & that that mean I’m unique.

I'm completely unique, both AmIUnique and the CreepJS test highlighted my installed fonts and two webcams (one of them is actually a virtual redirect for my primary webcam, since the drivers are DirectShow-based)

Would be interesting to see how my linux laptop performs, tbf it might be unique too considering it's a mbp 2012. I remember running into at least one website I visited on it showing much higher prices compared to when I revisited the same website later from my windows desktop...
