Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 7748.22 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.

Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys 12.92 bits of identifying information.

Using Arc on iOS.

pretty typical, not too bad if you aren't protecting your fingerprint with the noscript addon

Is that available on iOS?

I realise my options are limited on this platform.

noscript also exists on chromium, so if there a browser that supports addons on IOS it most prolly will have it. But I wouldn't worry about it too much. I don't have noscript installed on my phone either for convenience sake
