Seems like the fingerprint ID is unique on each refresh in Safari, so fingerprint protection working as intended I presume?




The main "Fingerprint ID" on this site seems to be a direct combination of all values, so if even a single one changes it'll act like the only conclusion is this is an entirely different fingerprint. Actual fingerprinting is a bit smarter, but it's not really possible to demonstrate that in a single clientside scripted static web page.

The more important bit to see from this tool is probably "this is an example of how much information which can aid in identification your browser exposes".
