The data used to create device fingerprints can be spoofed or tampered with to obscure the true fingerprint. There are a variety of methods used to do this including VPNs, browser extensions and built in browser options.
The data used to create device fingerprints can be spoofed or tampered with to prevent tracking. There are a variety of methods used to do this including VPNs, browser extensions and built in browser options. Some methods of data tampering can be detected.
If data tampering is detected then a red circle with an ‘x’ will be displayed next to the data value. If the legitimate value cannot be identified the data will be discarded and not used in creating the fingerprint. Clicking on the table row of the tampered value will bring up a dialog box showing the detected issues.
