FINGERPRINTER

🌐 Overview

FINGERPRINTER is a web application designed to raise user awareness and fortify online identities against tracking techniques. The dashboard allows users to explore their browser's unique digital profile with ease.

🚀 Getting Started

Explore the FINGERPRINTER dashboard in your web browser.

🔄 Compare Fingerprints

Evaluate your browser's privacy level by checking if the identifier changes each time you open the browser, after clearing data, or in incognito mode.

If you consistently get a unique identifier each time (🟢), it's a positive indicator for privacy. However, if the identifier remains constant (🔴), it's a potential risk to your privacy, making you more easily trackable.
