оприлюднено 8 років томуTL;DR Panopticlick and Am I Unique use a homerolled assortment of tracking code that is impractical for commercial tracking.
I'll go into a little detail about Panopticlick to explain more. Panopticlick uses a deployment of the open source fingerprinting tool Fingerprintjs2, along with their own unique fingerprinting code.
I added some debug code and visited Panopticlick I see Privacy Possum detects the page accessing 12 API's that are marked for watching for fingerprinting. Except this is split over 3 different scripts:
https://panopticlick.eff.org/static/fp2.js
https://panopticlick.eff.org/static/fetch_whorls.js
https://panopticlick.eff.org/static/deployJava.js
Privacy watches for fingerprinting on *per script basis*, this is a reasonable assumption because, normally a websites tracking code is bundled into one place, so that the tracking info can be easily aggregated and used. I'm not aware of a real deployment where tracking is split up like this. It is practical for panopticlick (and Am I Unique) because they want to present information about your tracking independently, and manage the code to do that in a more practical way.
For a demonstration of the fingerprinting detection code, I usually point folks to:
http://valve.github.io/fingerprintjs2/
I think it is worth considering cases like Panopticlick, or Am I Unique, because they can be used to evade PP's novel detection. But I have not seen a case like this in the wild.

- Оцінка 1 з 5від Користувач Firefox 5905964, 10 місяців томуMalware. Timezone monkeying (nonsense values) makes you very, very unique and very, very easy to track! Says privacy on the tin, but achieves the opposite.

- Оцінка 2 з 5від Marf, 2 роки томуUsed to be ground breaking, but it has not been updated since Jul 18, 2019. Now it seems to break a lot of sites. I wish it had a better interface so we could toggle global settings of what we wanted enabled and disabled. It seems with a lot of the new privacy laws, browsers are starting to build these features in.

- Оцінка 3 з 5від Padua, 2 роки томуGood extension, but breaks panning on Google Maps. Would be nice if this extension gets an update, with a fix.
