If you reload the page a few times, and you're using a modern browser, you'll almost certainly find it's a different fingerprint every time. Most modern browsers add in a randomization so that fingerprinting cannot be used for tracking.

So yes, your fingerprint is unique, but it's a different unique every time, making it pretty useless for anything.

Seems right, I'm on "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:145.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/145.0" and reloading the page I get a new fingerprint each time. "Unique Fingerprint ID" seems to be the only attribute that changes each reload, but it isn't clear how that's derived.

Edit: Ah, turns out "Unique Fingerprint ID" is just the same fingerprint ID printed at the top, it isn't one of the attribute used for calculating the ID, it is the ID. Guess I got confused by the placement of it.

Yeah, I made the mistake of including all features, even ones that change on every refresh like canvas or audio.

The fingerprint should really only use stable features that don’t fluctuate between reloads. That way it’s consistent for the same device.
