Privacy

To Note

First, take all this with a grain of salt. Although I'm a systems engineer, I am not an expert in browser fingerprinting.

Most of the data on that page is to fine-tune your anti-fingerprinting setup, but understand that fingerprinting is a fairly new, deeeeeeep, and confusing topic. This is why I mention to use both EFF's tool and CreepJS. EFF's tool is a little more generic and doesn't go super far into the weeds. CreepJS takes extra steps to try and guess if the browser is lying or attempting to skirt around fingerprinting in some ways.

Just remember that anything you add to your browser (like extensions) and some settings will only serve to make you more unique. For instance, using lesser-known browsers means there are less people to be lumped in with, so you look more unique to the broader scope of internet users. There are many other factors as well (as seen in CreepJS) like the viewport resolution, your GPU, and how much access your browser has to your system. For instance, when I use a browser installed via Flatpak on my Linux machine, CreepJS can't figure out what my GPU is. If I use a browser installed by my distro's package manager, it can see a lot more about the hardware of my system.

Before I get into some things to pay attention to in CreepJS, one of the best things you can do to help stop tracking is to install and utilize the NoScript extension to stop JavaScript dead in its tracks. Sites will break, but you will start to understand just how endemic the issue of overbloated tracking is out there in the wide web. Also note, this is not the end-all solution, as fingerprinting doesn't just rely on JavaScript.

CreepJS info

To keep it simple, I would pay attention to the stuff at the top of the page, like:

FP (fingerprint) ID

This is an ID that gets assigned to the session/browser by CreepJS. Some times it changes after clearing cookies and what not. Other times it never changes. However, this is not telling of whether or not you have been uniquely identified, you need to consider other info on the page.

Visits

This is a count of how many times this particular FP ID has visited/refreshed the CreepJS page. The higher the count, the more you look like others (i.e., the less you unique you are, good thing). When I use Mullvad's Browser+VPN installed via Flatpak, this count is way up there, almost touching 1000 visits. When I use LibreWolf with the same VPN, the count is only 3 and they are all me.

First

This is the date of the first time this FP ID visited CreepJS. If your visits count is high, and this date is several weeks ago, there's a good chance you're being lumped in with other people. However, if this date along with the Visits count match up to you using CreepJS, then you have definitely been uniquely identified.

Information under the Worker heading

This info is about the hardware of your computer. The less it shows, the better. Windows will pretty much always show you everything, but it gets muddier with Linux distros. For instance, with the Mullvad Browser+VPN example, it only tells me I'm running Linux_x86_64, which is incredibly generic. No other info shows up. In LibreWolf, though, it tells me a lot more about my system and includes some GPU information.

The rest of the data

If you're that kind of person, I would peruse the CreepJS documentation (link on the site) and read more about what's going on. There's a lot of factors involved, and admittedly I don't have a full grasp of every detail. I only know what I know from reading and running my own testing on various machines.
