Interesting. It got a lot wrong, though:

  • It thought I was running in a virtual machine, which I am not.
  • It said I had a camera and microphone attached, and I don't have either.
  • It also said I "typed the link yourself", which isn't true. I clicked the link in Lemmy in this post (I control-clicked to open in a new tab, that is).
  • It said I'm "using a mouse, not a trackpad" which is incorrect. I am using a trackpad.
  • It said my typing rhythm was "uneven, hunt-and-peck" and suggested I was "distracted", but also said my typing speed was 103wpm. How does that make sense? I'm definitely using the home row if that makes a difference.

On the typing one, here's my typing speed:

> time read l

real	0m5.553s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s
> python3 -c 'print(9*60/5)'
108.0

So, they weren't far wrong on that typing speed.

But none of the rest of what they saw surprised me any. I'm not using a VPN or anything. It'd be a good site to use if I wanted to reduce my fingerprintability, though. (That or the EFF one.)

    Yeah. It's somewhat hit or miss, but when it hits, it makes me realize how many fingerprintable things there are about browsers. Many of these I hadn't really considered before. It's much more than IP addresses, cookies, and user-agent strings.
