    You should post the # of bits of identifying info it was able to derive. Best I’m able to do is 15 bits or so. Never seen it below 14, meaning you’re able to be nearly uniquely fingerprinted everywhere.

      It seems that my Safari does not have very strong tracking protection.

        Nvm, I got the same result you did with Firefox and Safari, I realized I was testing on my wifi with a pihole… switched to mobile network only and protection dropped to partial.

        Do you need to turn an option on or off in Safari? I got a strong protection result, same as for Firefox.
