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.

Doesn’t seem to be the case on iOS unfortunately which is really creepy. Still get tracked regardless of Cookie & Cache Reset/VPN/Private Browsing with Safari
