Browser Fingerprinting: You’re Trackable Even Without Cookies

Browser fingerprinting based on fonts, screen size, canvas and WebGL

Most people think disabling cookies = privacy.

That’s wrong.

Browser fingerprinting can identify you using:

  • Fonts
  • Screen size
  • Canvas & WebGL
  • Installed features
  • Subtle browser quirks

No cookies. No consent banners. Still trackable.

I built a small tool that shows what your browser leaks right now — no tracking, no storage, no bullshit.

If you build for the web, you should know this stuff.
