New: Browser Privacy Check

Browser Privacy Check

Our most in-depth privacy tool yet: it shows the complete fingerprint your browser exposes to every website — user agent and Client Hints, screen and hardware details, time zone, installed fonts, and the canvas, WebGL and audio fingerprints trackers use to recognise you without cookies. It even checks for WebRTC local-IP leaks and computes a combined fingerprint hash. Everything except your IP is gathered in your browser and never uploaded.
