What does your browser reveal?
Trackers don’t always need cookies. Your browser quietly hands out enough detail to recognise you on its own. Here’s the fingerprint you’re carrying right now.
Read in your browser · nothing uploaded or stored
Hide your IP first
A VPN replaces the single biggest identifier — your IP address and rough location — so sites can’t tie activity back to your connection.
Then shrink the fingerprint
Fewer extensions, an anti-fingerprinting browser, and saying no to needless permissions all make you blend into the crowd.
Block the trackers
A content blocker stops most fingerprinting scripts from ever running — the cleanest fix of all.
Start with your IP, then your browser.
A VPN handles the network half. Our privacy checklist covers the browser half — step by step.
Frequently asked questions
What is browser fingerprinting?
Instead of storing a cookie, a tracker reads dozens of small details your browser exposes — your screen size, time zone, fonts, graphics card, language and more. Together these are often unique enough to recognise you across sites, with nothing saved on your device.
Does a VPN stop fingerprinting?
No — and any tool that claims otherwise is overselling. A VPN hides your IP address and location, which is one of the biggest identifiers, but your browser fingerprint is a separate layer. You reduce that with browser choices: anti-fingerprinting browsers, fewer extensions, and resisting “allow all” prompts.
Is it safe to run this test?
Yes. Every value is read and displayed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored — reload the page and it’s gone.
