browsers

Your browser can reveal far more than your IP address.

Cookies

Cookies can remember sessions, preferences and identifiers. Clearing them can remove some stored tracking data, although it does not erase every form of identification.

Fingerprinting

Websites can combine browser and device characteristics to create a fingerprint. Unusual configurations can sometimes make a browser more distinctive rather than less.

Extensions

Install only extensions you actually need. Every extension adds software that can potentially access browser data.

Browsers

Privacy-focused options include Firefox-based browsers such as LibreWolf and anonymity-focused software such as Tor Browser. Different browsers have different threat models.
