Cover Your Tracks

The EFF has a new version of their Panopticlick browser fingerprinting and tracker awareness tool. It’s now called Cover Your Tracks. The tool doesn’t prevent the malevolent adtech industry from tracking you, it’s merely a testing tool to estimate how vulnerable your browser is to tracking.

You can get the details and run a test against your own browser at the Cover Your Tracks Website. After you run the test, the site presents you with a detailed analysis of your fingerprinting vulnerabilities. They also have a fingerprinting guide that explains what fingerprinting is and why it’s more effective than cookies in tracking you around the Internet.

Visit the site and test your browser. The results are informative and—if you’re like most people—disheartening.
