Note that even if the screen resolution on your laptop is not unique, the resolution captured via fingerprinting can be quite unique. It was quite an eye-opener for me when I checked it against EFF's fingerprinting testing tool: https://panopticlick.eff.org/

Tried this with tor 9.0 maximized. Said my browser fingerprint is unique oops.

i just checked (latest firefox and safari) block trackers but not Tor 9

and all pf them have the same "your browser has a nearly-unique fingerprint"

Panopticlick gives you a breakdown of what's causing it to be unique. Out of all my tweaks to Firefox and Brave, fonts and resolution seem to be the biggest contributors.

It would be nice if FF would standardize on the Tor UA: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
