Is your browser uniquely identifiable, and is it protecting you from tracking and fingerprinting? Cover Your Tracks by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) can tell you both.
I tested the following browsers: Brave, Chrome, Comet by Perplexity, DuckDuckGo, Edge, and Firefox. I know there are other browsers out there, but these are the ones I have installed on my system.
Based on the Cover Your Tracks test, Brave, Comet (which surprised me, being an AI browser), DuckDuckGo, and Firefox indicated strong protection against Web tracking. Chrome and Edge did not, which was not surprising. Out of all the browsers I tested, only the Brave browser had a randomised fingerprint, which provides very strong protection against tracking companies, whereas all the other browsers had unique fingerprints.
If you are privacy and security conscious like me, I encourage you to test your browser(s) and be willing to change. Visit this URL to test your own browser(s) for yourself: https://coveryourtracks.eff.org.
I switched from Chrome to Edge years ago, but after today’s tests, I’m going to try Brave, DuckDuckGo, Firefox, and cautiously test Comet.
We need to take responsibility for our own privacy and security.
