Text is so dim is really hard to read.

#12There's really a lot more you can look at here. Lot's a prior art on super-cookies and fingerprinting:

#13With javascript off it just stalls at "reading" forever. There are certainly some viewport properties and other things it does know even without JS execution, but the mitigation is significant. And the page itself (the JS application) cannot act on that data or communicate it. Instead it has to be processed by some other application on the backend or wherever. Not in my browser by my computer.
I can't help feeling that if you're turning JS off, you might as well turn off your computer to protect your data.

#14Mine told me my graphics card was "or similar" so my stock Firefox is doing at least okay. While I still follow the general privacy first tenets, I have ended up backing off on some tools (noscript and librewolf) at the extremes of privacy because if every site is going to track everything by my IP or by my ASN or browser fingerprint, I do have a happy medium of being private enough while not being utterly broken in…
Same for me, also the "screen" size is off (just shows window size), the location is off by hundreds of kilometres and other information is quite generic (battery level "kept back", small set of standard fonts available...).

#15I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it gives my exact GPU, but that was surprising to me. Just so everyone knows, its an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and I paid way too much for it during the covid/crypto price explosion when they were sold out everywhere. Still a bit raw about that, but it is an excellent card on Linux (fedora)
you are using a Radeon RX 6900 XT on Fedora Linux. we know this because you admitted it in the previous comment.

Yeah the exact kind shouldn't matter - just the WebGL capabilities.

"Your graphics processor identified itself as or similar"
guess mine isn't such a specific model as yours. so I don't have a real GPU, i have something similar to a GPU??? did I get a knock off Alibaba version?

I got "or similar" from Firefox and exact make and model from chrome. Probably a browser issue and not a hardware issue.

#20My battery is at NaN%, the site is cool but it should probably change the text if I’m not actually exposing that information. It got the city wrong but close to where I live. This stuff would be wildly wrong if I fired up my VPN. Although its annoying when I connected to a VPN to Steam it’ll often show my prices in Canadian dollars instead of USD.
Heh, my battery (which I don't have cause this is a desktop) is at 100% apparently
Battery: kept back
Your browser kept your battery level back. Firefox removed this API entirely in 2016, after researchers proved it could be used to track a visitor across websites without cookies, without consent. The API still exists in the specification. It was simply hidden — from you, and from any page that might ask after it.
Well, at least something positive from the shit I take for not sheepling my way through life using Chrome
