Yes
peetistaken··on The privacy nightmare of browser fingerprinting
I built a nice tool to visualize that: https://tls.peet.ws. Its not that secret anymore though, more and more libraries are starting to allow spoofing for browser tls configs. There isnt really a cat/mouse game here - once you match the latest chrome, there is nothing to fingerprint
peetistaken··on How I block all 26M of your curl requests
Indeed, I named it after akamai because they wrote a whitepaper for it. I think I first used akamai_fingerprint on https://tls.peet.ws, where you can see all your fingerprints!
peetistaken··on Websites are tracking you via browser fingerprinting
Not really. They can‘t see a list, as navigator.plugins is dummy data in every major browser, but they might able to detect eg. Adblockers by other means

peetistaken··on Ask HN: Does Cloudflare block HN comments if you have code blocks in a reply?
That is not true. It does a whole bunch of checks, like fingerprinting your GPU, environment, etc. The checks are even run in a custom VM, and are heavily protected. The gathered data is then sent back to cloudflare, and you either get an access cookie (cf_clearance) back, or not.
