Using Firefox (on a Linux laptop) with resistfingerpriting=true or Mull (on an Android) with its default settings, I'm able to get assigned a new fingerprint whenever I clear cookies or use a new Incognito session.

I haven't tested it, but presumably they also wouldn't be able to track me between domains, even without clearing cookies.

So it gets me on MacOS with safari, lynx, and firefox with strict anti-tracking on.

Tor works for blocking it.

All in all they have created a creepy wee tool.

On MacOS, on Firefox, resistFingerprint=1 and clearing out recent history, or going in incognito mode, (cookies, cache, etc.) defeats the fingerprint.

A little disappointed that Privacy Badger didn't seem to make any difference. Was active the whole time.
