It’s worth noting that browsers, especially Firefox and Safari, are actively combatting fingerprinting: gizmodo.com/apple-declares-war-on-...

While neat, it’s not reliable to use as identification. A better way might be an anonymous hash, like the cloud saves that DuckDuckGo uses for setting storage.

Thank you for the info! Yeah, it appears that the newest version of Firefox protects against fingerprinting which is great!
