Panopticlick – How unique – and Trackable – is your browser?

by

Is your browser configuration rare or unique? If so, web sites may be able to track you, even if you limit or disable cookies. Panopticlick tests your browser to see how unique it is based on the information it will share with sites it visits.

So I ran the test on the following browsers…

 

Works

Identifying number of bits

Internet Explorer 9.0

Fails

Safari (Mac)

Yes

20.65

Firefox 5.0 (Mac)

Yes

20.65

Android Native Browser

Yes

20.65

5o9 Browser2

Yes

20.65

Interesting item… Androids NATIVE Mobile Browser does NOT support the following:

    • DOM localStorage: NO, DOM sessionStorage: NO, IE userData: No

However if you run the same test in KeyNote’s MITE (Mobile Internet Testing Environment) it will indicate that it does support it.
