What Fingerprint Radar tells you

Every browser leaks small details as it renders a page: the exact way it draws text to a canvas, which fonts are installed, your timezone and language, the graphics card behind WebGL, and the sound your audio stack produces. On their own these look harmless. Combined, they often single out one browser in millions, which is how sites recognise you after you have cleared cookies or switched to a private window. Fingerprint Radar measures those same signals and shows you the result as a real number.

For each signal it looks up how common your value is, then computes its Shannon entropy in bits: a value shared by half of all browsers adds 1 bit, a value shared by one in a thousand adds about 10. Adding the bits gives a total, which becomes a plain "1 in N browsers look like yours" estimate and a Low, Medium, or High identifiability band. Open any signal in the breakdown to read what it measured and why it narrows down who you are.

Nothing you see here is uploaded. Every signal is read and every bit is calculated in this tab, with no analytics and no network calls. The fonts are bundled with the page rather than loaded from a font CDN, so even loading the site does not hand your address to a third party.

How to read your score

Watch the scope: each blip is one measured signal, sized by how much it gives away. The number at the centre is your total entropy in bits. More bits mean a rarer, easier-to-single-out browser. A high score is not a virus or a warning; it just means your particular combination of settings is uncommon. The most effective ways to blend in are using a mainstream browser at its default window size and avoiding unusual font or extension setups. Reload at any time to recompute from scratch.

Questions people ask

Does Fingerprint Radar send my data anywhere?
No. Every measurement and calculation happens locally in your browser. There is no server, no analytics, and no request that carries your results off the page.
What does the bits number actually mean?
Bits of entropy measure how much a signal narrows down which browser you are. Each bit roughly halves the crowd you blend into, so 20 bits means about one in a million browsers share your full set of values.
Why is the "1 in N" called an upper bound?
Combining signals assumes they are independent, but real signals overlap (a phone has a predictable screen size and GPU together). The true crowd is usually larger than the estimate, so treat the number as a ceiling on how rare you are.
How do I make my browser less unique?
Use a common browser and operating system, keep the window at a default size, avoid installing unusual fonts, and consider a browser like Tor that deliberately makes many users look identical. Blending in beats standing out.
Is a high identifiability score dangerous?
Not by itself. It means your browser is easy to recognise across sites without cookies, which matters for tracking and ad targeting. It is a privacy signal, not a security breach.
