Brave browser to block web fingerprinting with randomisation
Naked Security
As privacy experts constantly remind everyone, when it comes to tracking using web fingerprinting, users can run, but they simply can’t hide.
Most people assume third-party cookies are the main way they’re tracked from website to website and across different web sessions, and to a large extent that’s still true.
More recently, however, browsers and adblockers have started clamping down on this way of profiling users, which is why a second technique dating back a decade has come to the fore. It’s called browser profiling, aka the ‘cookieless monster’.
It works by analysing dozens of characteristics of a user’s software and hardware setup, which taken together form a unique pattern or fingerprint.
