easy to track by the fingerprint of installed extensions
You can identify users using various methods: information about the type and version of your browser, operating system, active plugins, time zone, language, screen resolution, and even information about installed extensions in your browser.
These data points may appear generic at first and may not necessarily appear to be tailored to identify one particular person . However, there is a significantly low chance that another user will have 100% matching browser information.
Extension Fingerprints – a site that will check how vulnerable you are to surveillance. The service checks the visitor’s browser for available resources for popular extensions from the Google Chrome Web Store.
Based on the collected statistics, the site generates a hash that can then be used to track a specific browser. The more extensions installed, the smaller percentage of people will have similar combinations. The source code of the project is available on GitHub.
