Many people think tracking only happens through cookies. Think again.

๐Ÿ”ฅ What is Browser Fingerprinting?
Every browser leaves traces:
โœ” Screen resolution & hardware specs
โœ” Installed fonts & add-ons
โœ” Operating system & rendering engine
โœ” Mouse movements & typing patterns

This data is unique enough to identify 99% of users โ€“ even without cookies.

โœ” How I protect myself against it:
โœ… Tor Browser โ†’ Obscures fingerprinting parameters
โœ… Firefox with RFP (Resist Fingerprinting) โ†’ Uniform values for all users
โœ… NoScript & uBlock Origin โ†’ Blocks tracking scripts
โœ… Fake user-agent strings โ†’ More anonymity

โžก Conclusion: Fingerprinting is more powerful than cookies โ€“ yet barely known.
