Browser User Agent & Friends Info: I Can Use Your Help (Volunteers Anyone?)

[ASBzone]

Understood and thanks. So, if I install a brand new browser and use that for nothing but my online-banking I should be reasonably safe?

Yes.

I am wondering can we have two or multiple firefoxes or Google Chrome on the same system? I am going to find out :-)

You can.  In many cases, the browsers support multiple profiles, as MarkMLI has mentioned.

Any option that gets you isolation from shared cookies or shared extensions will be helpful.

I did a few tests at different browser sizes.  Would be interesting to see what you get.

There are many fingerprinting websites available that let you see the results directly, eff has one for example here.

I'll do one more test, using three browsers back to back:
-- Brave
-- Edge
-- Firefox

Thank you.  You can see the captured data here

I have a question about your monitor, that is a resolution I have not seen before: 1607 by 876 ( how did you manage that?)   

That's interesting...   I have two monitors, both at 1920 x 1080.

Was it capturing the size of the screen or the size of the browser window?

I did a few tests at different browser sizes.  Would be interesting to see what you get.

This is what I used to capture the info, straight js :

Code: Javascript  [Select][+][-]

1.  
2.        // Collect screen size
3.         var screenWidth = window.screen.width;
4.         var screenHeight = window.screen.height;
5.  
6.         // Collect viewport size
7.         var viewportWidth = window.innerWidth;
8.         var viewportHeight = window.innerHeight;
9.  
10.         // Collect user agent
11.         var userAgent = navigator.userAgent;
12.  

I have attached a zip in case you want to have a look see at the code.

Both.

I have attached a screenshot. It captured your different browser sizes :-)

Yep, I know.  I looked at a couple of them myself, but I was interested to see what Aruna was picking up

Microsoft Edge captured my actual screensize accurately -- and sometimes Firefox.  I suspect that the reason that Brave does not report screen size accurately, it for privacy -- making it harder to get a consistent fingerprint if you move the browser window around at all.
